About

As a pharmacist, youth leader, and health systems advocate, I have a keen interest in how health systems, environment, lifestyle choices, and policies collectively shape the future of health and wellbeing in Africa and beyond. I seek to explore the larger role of pharmacists in healthcare and build systems where healthcare is not isolated as a topic of discussion. Rather, it should adopt a method where the discussion around health is systemic, relevant, and sustainable. Additionally, I’m driven by the role of youth in shaping the future narrative where health conversations and decisions are more inclusive, practical, equitable, and sustainable.
