About
As the Executive Director at NSRH, I’m on a mission to transform healthcare providing education and training in sexual and reproductive healthcare to nurses and other healthcare professionals. This work is deeply rooted in the desire to advance equitable, inclusive healthcare for all, especially historically marginalized communities.

At NSRH, I’ve led initiatives that have expanded our reach and impact, directly contributing to a more inclusive healthcare landscape. Through my leadership, NSRH has seen significant growth in both engagement and impact.

My work at NSRH is more than a job; it’s a commitment to ensuring that all communities receive the comprehensive, dignified healthcare they deserve. My expertise includes strategic planning,
