Summary
Passionate and committed Public Health Nutritionist with 4 years of experience in community/public health and acute care. Skilled in effective communication, problem-solving, and collaboration. Experienced in conducting nutritional assessments, developing personalized dietary plans, and delivering culturally appropriate nutrition education. Strong knowledge of evidence-based strategies for health promotion and disease prevention. Proven track record of achieving positive health outcomes through interdisciplinary collaboration. BSc in Food and Nutritional Sciences and a MSc in Nutrition and Rural Development majoring in Public Health Nutrition. I am committed to improving the health and well-being of communities. Accomplishments include using standardized treatment protocols including the development of specific therapeutic products and scale-up of the integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM) approach that resulted in a significant reduction in SAM case fatality while allowing rapid scale-up and a great increase in program and geographical coverage. The high short‐term benefit of the treatment has been confirmed by reduced post-discharge mortality among those who completed the program compared to those who defaulted.
