Overview
I have experience in both program evaluation and coverage measurement focusing on maternal, neonatal and child health. Before working at Johns Hopkins University as faculty member, I had professional experience in Sub-Saharan Africa setting. As part of my work and research, I conducted or have been involved in developing coverage tools and implementing evaluation programs to improve health interventions in developing countries. My interests also led me to carry out evidence-based research on social changes or the relationships between demographic features (poverty, migration) and health outcomes. On the whole, the aim of my research is to contribute to improve health program planning and evaluation in high-burden countries.
