I have over 20 years’ experience working on NTDs in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the South Pacific. I am currently the Technical Director on USAID’s Act to End NTDs | East project. The first few years of my NTD career were spent as an embedded technical support officer within the national lymphatic filariasis programs in Vanuatu and the Dominican Republic, where I participated in MDAs and surveys, including in the roles of drug distributor and supervisor. I have a passion for improving the design of NTD programs.
