Extensive experience working in humanitarian crises with Doctors Without Borders in Liberia (MSF) during the heat of the civil war. I have over five years of experiences in development work. I am currently working on a consultancy contract with a USAID-funded project to develop a program for the recruitment, training and deployment of community health officers. I have worked extensively with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare of Liberia, the medical centers and other nonprofit organizations to jump start this flagship program in Liberia. I founded Refuge Place International (a nonprofit organization to help construct a maternal newborn and child clinic and develop health services in the slums of Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia) in both the USA and Liberia in 2009. As executive director, I recruit some volunteer Liberian-American and other American health professionals to help develop a training curriculum for allied health workers. I also help to cofound Horizon International a nonprofit helping war-affected women and children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I am currently serving as vice president on a voluntary basis. I have valuable experiences in grant writing, monitoring and evaluation and public health (Global Health) program development and Implementation. My experiences, knowledge and skills in Public Health programmatic areas include: maternal, newborn and child (MNC), Women, Gender and Health , public health workforce development, health care delivery research and program management in peri-urban slums. It also includes Infectious disease epidemiology (malaria, TB and HIV\AIDS).
