Bio
When I was a kid I always wanted to become a physician, a pharmacists or a physiotherapist. Growing up as the second daughter of two development aid doctors in East Africa, I knew from when I was young that I wanted to help patients and improve access to medicines and treatment. As I grew up I got more and more interested in economics, global affairs and the corporate world. I tried different things: Finance, HR, Sales... but I fell for Comms.
Corporate Communications in the healthcare sector is the perfect match for me. Guided by a clear purpose, my job is to engage and inspire audiences by creating something memorable that hits the right spot in the left side of their chests. With deep experience in Executive and Leadership communications, as well as Event Management of any sort, I‘ve also gained insights in content and channel management, social media and media relations, as well as change communications.
My mantra is to always be kind, add a magic touch and get stuff done!
