Position: Secretary General Elect

Her research interests are multifaceted, encompassing psych-oncology, symptom management, and survivorship. A distinct attribute of her work is the attention to marginalized communities, ensuring that cancer research is inclusive and representative. As the Registry Manager of the Accra Cancer Registry, Naomi has extensively documented cancer trends in Ghana, providing invaluable data to guide research and treatment protocols tailored to the African context.
Naomi’s commitment to minorities is further illustrated by her participation in several pivotal initiatives. Notably, her role as the ISNCC Regional Ambassador for Africa and a member of the African Cancer Coalition emphasizes her determination to bridge gaps in cancer care and research across the continent.
Within AORTIC, her involvement has been profound. Serving as an executive council member in the capacity of Vice President for Nursing for two consecutive terms, she actively contributed to the organization’s direction and decision-making processes. Her participation in AORTIC’s Education and Training Committee and as Chair of the Special Interest Group in Nursing Oncology underscores her relentless pursuit of excellence in cancer care in Africa and her ambition to position AORTIC as a beacon of hope for those battling cancer, especially the underserved.
