Her PhD programme, which she completed in January 2020, was supported by the African Doctoral Dissertation Research Fellowship (ADDRF). She had the opportunity to undergo a three-month postdoctoral programme at the Faculty of Nursing of the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain, which was sponsored by the Harambee fellowship.
