As the Founder of Advancing Global Health Solutions, i bring over 15+ years leading global strategies in health, human rights, HIV prevention, and harm reduction.

I collaborate with global, regional, and national partners to drive high-impact, sustainable responses to HIV, TB, and malaria. From the Global Fund & UNAIDS, to grassroots networks and civil society, I work to expand equitable healthcare and empower key and vulnerable communities. Grounded in a deep understanding of global health systems, I lead rights-based, evidence-driven strategies that strengthen systems, amplify community voices, and deliver lasting change.
