What's your favorite part about working at Pathfinder?
Making a difference in the lives of people and the communities that we serve, especially the women, children, youth, and marginalized populations

Do you have a personal connection to Pathfinder's work?
My personal connection with Pathfinder started in 1990s, when I started with interacting with Pathfinder staff in the Kenya Country Office. I admired the work they did in reproductive health, especially in family planning. I also admired their approach in working with communities.

What reading would you recommend to those interested in international reproductive health?
I encourage those interested in reproductive health to keep themselves updated with all the international, regional, and national policies and strategies in reproductive health. Read all best practices and lessons learned in service provision
