"I was working in a paediatric oncology unit early in my career. I found myself, as a young nurse, really struggling with the low survival rate of some groups of children. I think I was at the beginning of developing a personal sense of morality and ethics in health care."
"I decided to apply that sensitivity to humanitarian work with MSF. There, I found myself faced with a different type of dilemma, which is also linked to people's survival: you had limits around resources and structural inequities in the kinds of environment where I was working."
"In my current role, which I started in 2021 after about 20 years full-time at MSF, I support country-specific projects as well as sponsoring innovations."
