Biography

I am a senior in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at Princeton University, studying disease dynamics related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). My family comes from a rural village near Lake Victoria, where the prevalence of sexually transmitted bacterial infections is high. Inspired by this upbringing, I pursued research at Princeton focused on village health inequities, sustainable health systems development, and African foreign policy. Through research experiences in Brazil, India, and Uganda, I've gained a valuable global perspective that will enrich my future research pursuits. I will be studying for a research MPhil in Veterinary Medicine, where I hope to leverage disease modeling to assess the effectiveness of the 4cmenB vaccine in reducing gonorrhea prevalence in low-resource areas. Through this research, I hope to propose cost-effective strategies for limiting AMR incidence in rural East Africa.
