I’m a public health researcher and advocate with experience across multiple countries including India, Laos, Zambia, and the United States.
I am deeply committed to improving healthcare access and addressing global health inequities. My passion lies in leveraging research and data-driven approaches to develop evidence-based solutions to complex public health challenges.
Throughout my career, I have focused on applying my expertise in community engagement, UX research, and policy advocacy to build effective partnerships and drive meaningful impact. From conducting fieldwork to leading grassroots advocacy initiatives, I have fostered collaborations between researchers, practitioners, and community members to create sustainable solutions to pressing health issues.
