I have worked with different international and non-governmental organisations covering field and executive roles, that gave me the opportunity to lead cross-functional and multi-cultural teams, support and lead emergency preparedness and response plans,  improve organisations readiness and response capacities, conduct risk analysis, steer health strategies, and negotiate access and operational space for health responses, particularly those with a potential disaster displacement impact.
