I am a Medical Doctor and Public Health professional from Tanzania, currently working with the Tanzania Ministry of Health in the Emergency Preparedness and Rapid Response Unit. I have more than 15 years of experience in epidemic preparedness, outbreak response, disease surveillance, and health system strengthening. I have been involved in responding to highly infectious disease emergencies, including Marburg Virus Disease, COVID-19, Ebola Virus Disease, Cholera, Measles, Polio, and Mpox, working with national and international partners.

I am currently pursuing my PhD in the International Graduate Ph.D. Program in Medicine (IGPM) at Taipei Medical University (TMU). My academic and research interests include global health security, pandemic preparedness, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, health system resilience, disease surveillance, and the application of digital health and artificial intelligence to epidemic preparedness and response.

Through my studies at TMU, I hope to strengthen my research skills, develop innovative approaches to global health challenges, and contribute to improving health-system preparedness and resilience, particularly in Tanzania and other resource constrained settings.
