I am a Communications Specialist with 18 years of experience in strategic communications and brand equity for international organizations. I recently joined PATH as the Head of Communications for the Africa Region. Before this, I worked with Jhpiego as the Communications Manager for Africa Region. In this position, I coached and mentored communications teams in 20+ countries while strengthening their capacity to showcase the impact of the organization's innovations, partnerships and leadership in saving lives, improving health and transforming the futures of women and families. I led the writing of country strategic communications plans in Africa. Moreover, I built diverse communications teams' capacity to identify, document, and share high-impact communications and knowledge management deliverables. I also advised Senior Leaders, Country Directors and Project Leaders in their communication and executive presence.
