The professional work
Communications Associate Specialist
Jul 2025 — present
ACRN exists to win Africa a 15% share of global clinical trials within a decade. My job is making that ambition visible enough that investigators, sponsors and regulators act on it.

03

04
Press releases, media strategy, and broadcast outreach: negotiating radio placements and briefing journalists on Africa-led research.

A reusable editable library so the whole team ships on-brand: social carousels, blog graphics, podcast artwork, press release templates, video intros and outros, letterhead.
