Submitted in Partial Completion of the MAHRSJ at Thompson Rivers University
Hello, I’m Moses, a dedicated and compassionate social and public health professional with over a decade of experience in disease control and community health. My journey began in Ghana, where I spent over ten years working with the Ministry of Health, managing large-scale public health initiatives, and leading teams in disease control and surveillance. This experience provided me with a strong foundation in a wide range of skills, from data management and project coordination to crisis intervention and community-level education.
My career is driven by a profound commitment to public well-being and a deep belief in the power of a wraparound approach to health. I have a proven track record of implementing effective strategies to address complex health challenges, including my work as a Tuberculosis Control Coordinator and in malaria prevention. More recently, my focus has shifted to individual support. At the Canadian Mental Health Association and The Mustard Seed, I currently provide support to individuals facing homelessness, substance use, and addiction, helping them navigate these challenges.
I am a natural leader and an effective communicator, skilled in building trust and fostering a supportive, non-judgmental environment. My expertise extends to crisis intervention, conflict resolution, and connecting individuals with the vital community resources they need to achieve their personal goals. I firmly believe in empowering clients and communities to take control of their health and their lives, and my work has always been guided by a deep sense of empathy and a commitment to advocacy.
As I pursue my Master of Arts in Human Rights and Social Justice at Thompson Rivers University, I am committed to integrating my extensive public health background with a deeper understanding of human rights principles. I am excited to apply my unique blend of practical experience and academic knowledge to create meaningful, a lasting change for marginalized communities.
