She has extensive work experience working with HIV positive women and AIDS-orphans in Windhoek, Namibia, where she conducted research on the deteriorating basic human rights issues caused by HIV/AIDS that culminated to become her undergraduate thesis.

She is also a staunch advocate of human rights and believes in the potential youth have to become the solution of tomorrow.
