About Tamilore Areola
Ms. Tamilore Areola was an employee at HSDF from 2017 to 2020. She began her career as an intern at HSDF and then returned upon graduation as an employee. She reveled in her work and found it aligned with her enthusiasm for helping others and improving health outcomes in Nigeria. Throughout her time at HSDF, she embodied our values and excelled at her work.

She was very passionate about the leadership at such a young age. She founded the New Path Success Institute, a platform for helping people actualize their dreams; and through her YouTube channel, she shared faith-based discussions. Everyone who encountered her was immediately aware of her compassionate, diligent, and service-oriented spirit.
