It was inspiring to meet alumni and this year’s incredible cohort affectionately nicknamed the “Scottish Mafias” as most of us head to Scotland for our master’s studies. 🏴 💙 #Chevening #CheveningNamibia #CheveningScholar #MyCheveningJourney

I am deeply grateful to mentors like Christina, Jessé, Ezinne, and Dr. Chrys, and to every opportunity that shaped my journey and my incredible team at @TupaBloomCare. When people ask, “What experience do you have in digital health?” …this is my story.

In 2024, I joined the @dhsafrica Cohort 2 Digital Health Skills Training Program, a turning point that affirmed my decision to pursue leadership as a woman in digital health. This program gave me the confidence to step fully into this space. 💪🏾💙

I later joined a COVID-19 hackathon by StartUp Namibia, where I introduced an electronic health record prototype for Namibia. ➡️ With no coding background, I built and tested it with 200 doctors & students (my professors and classmates). 🏆 We placed 2nd in the competition.

My digital health journey began in medical school. Frustrated by COVID-19 data being shared only in tables, I built Namibia’s first go-to COVID-19 website with interactive graphs & maps to make the data accessible for everyone. 🌍📊
