I studied nursing in a diploma course of study and a BSC in Nursing at Kea- MED medical college. I worked for the Myungsung Christen Medical Center (MCM) for four years as an emergency nurse. And then I worked in a refugee camp for two years. During my stay in “Sherkole” refugee camp, I got ample experience and trainings in the area of PMTCT, STI prevention and treatment, HIV and TB, SGBV, nutrition and the like. Since I was working in a refugee camp and it contains people from different country and cultural background my stay in “Sherkolel” refugee camp helped me to have a full understanding of multicultural facts of African’s. I also obtained a master’s degree in development studies from the Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology in 2014.
