Mai graduated with a BSc in Pharmacology, since graduating she has worked as a PR and marketing professional, and as conference manager for life science events in London. During her time in these companies, she found that her true passion was in making a positive impact to the health of individuals, and thus, she pursued a Masters in Public Health, and has experience in this sector. Having been raised in London, Mai endeavours to assist in the development of Sudan. She was selected as MILEAD fellow by Moremi Initiative in 2013, and that experience inspired the development of the Al Sudaniya Mentoring programme, which seeks to empower and develop the personal and professional skills of young Sudanese women.
