I work where women’s lives, narrative, and systems meet.

My work centers women’s lived realities as evidence to shape health systems, policy and investment. This is where I think, build and partner with people and institutions working to do the same.

Over the past seventeen years, I have worked across gender, health, and community systems, centering women’s lived realities in places where policy, care, and investment decisions are made.

My approach brings together lived experience, research, and systems thinking to generate clarity in complex environments and to design responses that reflect how women actually live.

This is the work that led me to found Youterus Health.

My work reflects this movement, shaped by home, informed by the world, and grounded in how women live, speak, and make meaning.
