At the same time, she is a Research Projects Manager at the School and coordinates and manages population health and disease control projects, contributes to research on vector-borne disease distribution, leads monitoring, evaluation and learning activity and develops and writes proposals that support the implementation of tools and interventions in vector control.
Grace's early academic background lies in anthropology and she has recently completed a diploma in life sciences for subjects allied to medicine.
