Through my involvement in the Makerere University Biotechnology Society, RED Cross activities, and academic research, I have built strong skills in communication, coordination, analysis, and problem-solving. I am continuously seeking opportunities to contribute to impactful projects, support organisational goals, and grow in areas related to biotechnology, public health, administration, and research.
