I was born on 06/06/1986 and graduated from Mbarara University of science and technology in 2014 with a Bachelors degree in medicine and surgery (MBChB). I am currently a medical officer working at the infectious Diseases Institute Mulago in the sexual and Reproductive department with special interest in adolescent and sexual health following completion of internship at Mulago National Referral Hospital in 2014 with a future career in sexual and reproductive health Research.

My interest in SRH begun way back in medical school where I was actively involved as chairperson Standing committee on Sexual and Reproductive Health including HIV/AIDS of the Federation of Uganda Medical Students Association and active member of the International Federation of medical students. I am passionate about women’s SRH rights and a patient safety advocate in my community.
