I have skills in quantitative and qualitative research methods and with an interest in Epidemiology, Global Health, Environmental and Occupational Health I teach Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Environmental and Occupational Health, International Health, and Research Methods to undergraduate medical, dental, nursing and physiology students. I also teach postgraduate students in the Master’s of Public Health and Master’s of Occupational Health/Occupational Medicine programmes. I supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students research projects. I have been an active trainer of resident doctors in the Community Medicine and public health fellowship training programme since 2016.

Prior to that, in 2013, I was part of a team that organized the first African Public Health Students Assembly.
