Placement Country: Rwanda
Title: Health Sector Partnerships Officer
I became a GHC fellow because I wanted to be part of a community of multidisciplinary young leaders and mentors that work together to positively influence health initiatives and accessibility.

Laetitia is originally from Rwanda but grew up in Ottawa, Canada. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Ottawa where she majored in health sciences. During her undergraduate studies, she volunteered for the University of Ottawa’s health promotion team and The Canadian AIDS Society. She also worked as an Insurance Advisor for State Farm throughout her undergraduate studies. Prior to joining GHC, she was employed as a district coordinator for Carefor Health & Community Services, a non-profit organization that provides widespread health care services in Ottawa. In her free time, she can be found watching sports, traveling, and spending time with her family and friends.
