About: I am a Public Health Professional with 11 years of work experience. My career has been dedicated to advancing public health initiatives, coordinating research studies, and fostering strong community and stakeholder engagement. I specialise in designing and implementing outreach strategies that bridge the gap between research institutions, healthcare providers, and diverse communities, ensuring that health research is accessible and impactful. I have developed experience in study coordination, monitoring compliance with ethical and regulatory frameworks, and supporting data collection and analysis to strengthen evidence-based decision-making. With a strong grounding in public health principles, I am adept at translating complex research findings into clear and meaningful communication tailored to different audiences. I work collaboratively with researchers, policymakers, and community stakeholders to promote awareness, build trust, and encourage participation in health studies. Additionally, I am a co-chairperson of the KZN research sector playing a key leadership role in advancing collaborative research efforts within the region.
