About the Fellow
Deborah coordinates nutrition-related activities for the ACP. She represents the ACP at key meetings, seminars, and workshops, and supports documentation of nutrition-related activities by serving as a rapporteur and writing reports.

"Working at the Ministry of Health has made me appreciate the critical role nutrition plays in people living with HIV, and yet it’s often ignored. I now appreciate the need for more advocacy for improved nutrition."

Deborah has always had a desire to work in the health sector, specifically in nutrition. She expects the UNF to provide her with real-world work experience as well as opportunities to develop interpersonal skills and professional relationships, which will enable her to compete favourably in the job market. During her free time, Deborah enjoys singing, dancing, and reading.
