The experience will help me better address issues of gender equality and patient care, while aligning my efforts with the UN SDGs.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Breast Cancer Art Exihibition
We designed an online website to serve as an accessible exhibition platform for audiences of all knowledge levels about breast cancer. The website provides an introduction to breast cancer, covering common symptoms, stages, survival rates, and risk factors. It also includes guidance on self-detection methods and practical tips for adopting healthier lifestyles and habits to help prevent breast cancer and promote overall well-being.
