## Resource

Simone is the Founder and President of Simone's Kids, a nonprofit and ministry she launched in 2010 that now provides education, nutrition, and holistic support to hundreds of children in Uganda. Her leadership is shaped not only by her cross‑cultural work, but also by her personal story — walking through chronic illness since childhood, navigating the long and demanding road of medical school and residency alongside her husband, who is now a surgeon, and becoming a mother through the adoption of her two children after a long journey with infertility. Simone brings a rare blend of faith‑driven purpose, resilience, and practical leadership insight. She speaks with warmth, clarity, and honesty about building sustainable programs, empowering local leaders, and leading with dignity across cultures, all while balancing family, health, and calling.
