About the Fellow
Brendah is part of the technical team in the Namutumba district that supports integration of nutrition assessment, counselling, and support in facilities and communities. She participates in routine data collection from health facilities and village health teams and provides support supervision for their activities. She is also a trainer-of-trainers for the micronutrient powder messaging and delivery campaign.

"SPRING has taught me the “art of learning by doing”. I am fully involved in the daily activities of the project such as nutrition education, food demonstrations, meetings, and writing reports."

During her undergraduate field training, Brenda was introduced to practical aspects of nutrition, project management, and advocacy. This is when she was convinced that the nutrition sector had diverse opportunities when integrated with food science. She expects the UNF to enable her to gain practical skills such as coordination, teamwork, research, advocacy, and monitoring and evaluation. Brenda is also passionate about travelling.
