Putting Health and Well-Being Back in People's Hands—Innovating for a Healthier Future.

This is me

I am a Computer Engineering student with a background in Global Health, passionate about the intersection of health and technology. Through my work in behavioral health, advocacy, and technology, I am exploring ways to create more accessible and effective health solutions. My experience includes working a clinical setting with youth, participating in digital health innovation programs, community advocacy, and using my platform to advocate for health equity and mental health awareness.

I searched for solutions to my challenges. Now, I build them—advocating, innovating, and empowering. Health belongs in the hands of the people.

I am an Innovator and Advocate passionate about digital health, behavioral health, and health equity. With a background in Global Health and Behavioral Health Counseling, I develop technology-driven solutions that improve access, empower youth, and bridge mental health care gaps.

​

At the University of Iowa, I studied Global Health focusing on mental health in East Africa and underserved communities, led student government mental health initiatives, and partnered with Nisaa African Family Services to organize youth-centered mental health events.

​

While working in adult mental health, I self-taught full-stack development, pitched digital health products at startup weekends, and collaborated with Neolth as a Digital Mental Health Ambassador, creating youth-focused content and tools.

​

Now a Behavioral Health Counselor, I provide direct support to youth while pursuing a Computer Engineering degree at Iowa State University, merging health and technology to develop scalable, patient-centered solutions. I aim to design and implement technology-driven solutions that improve healthcare accessibility.

​​

At the core of my work is the belief that health should be in the hands of the people. Whether through advocacy, clinical care, or digital innovation, I am committed to building accessible, culturally relevant, and technology-driven healthcare solutions that ensure every person has the tools and support they need to thrive.
