She is from Comoros  and has worked for 3 years at a high-volume maternity unit of a referral hospital in Zanzibar, Tanzania.

Since 2014, She has been a core member of PartoMa Project, which focuses on co-developing and implementing achievable clinical guidelines to assist healthcare providers in busy, resource-poor maternity care units in Tanzania to give the best possible evidence-based care. As a co-Principal Investigator, she holds multiple scientific and management roles. She also gains mentorship and training in research methodologies, leadership skills, and governance issues within a multinational, multi-disciplinary team of experts.
