As a master’s student pursuing Public Health at the Institute of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases, based at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), Elizabeth joined APHRC as an intern in 2017. APHRC continues to offer her great exposure and is a great place to learn and build her as a well-rounded researcher. She also has a Bachelor’s in science from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.

Elizabeth is motivated by solutions that improve the health and well-being of communities, i.e., their households, mothers, and children. She is keen to see the research used to inform policy and programs and provide for community engagement in the issues affecting them. She enjoys writing to enlighten a non-scientific audience with knowledge that would improve their lives and has authored several blog articles.
