I am a public health researcher, consultant, and Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS). I am a registered pharmacist with an MSc in Applied Epidemiology, and I am currently pursuing a PhD by research and publication jointly at MUHAS and ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡. My doctoral research focuses on the impact of maternal multimorbidity and caesarean delivery on adverse maternal outcomes, using causal inference and predictive modelling approaches.

Over the years, I have contributed to national and international projects addressing maternal and child health, infectious disease surveillance, pharmacovigilance, and health systems strengthening. I have worked with organizations such as WHO, CDC, UN Women, TMDA, ICAP, and Big Win Philanthropy, serving in roles including investigator, epidemiologist, and technical consultant.

For my PhD, I will be using data from the ALERT project (Action Leveraging Evidence to reduce perinatal Mortality and morbidity in Sub-Saharan Africa), hosted by ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, to develop predictive models assessing the impact of maternal multimorbidity on health outcomes.

• Maternal and neonatal health outcomes
• Multimorbidity
• Infectious disease epidemiology (TB, HIV, STIs)
• Pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacovigilance
• Causal inference and prognostic modelling
• Key population health and surveillance systems

Since 2021, I have served as an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at MUHAS, where I teach core modules in public health and applied epidemiology, including:

• Foundations of Epidemiology
• Applied Epidemiology
• Surveillance and Outbreak Investigations

I also supervise undergraduate students and provide guidance on research design, data analysis, and scientific dissemination.
