Research Interests
Dynamic and results-driven Public Health Specialist with over a decade of multidisciplinary experience in maternal, child, and adolescent health, immunization, nutrition, and non-communicable disease (NCD) management, particularly in high-risk and resource-limited settings. Holding a Ph.D. in Health Sciences, I bring advanced expertise in designing, implementing, and evaluating public health interventions with a strong foundation in evidence-based research and health policy analysis.
My research interests center on strengthening health systems through integrated service delivery models, addressing health inequities, and improving population health outcomes across the life course. I am particularly focused on translating research into actionable policy recommendations, promoting stakeholder engagement, and fostering multi-sectoral collaboration to drive sustainable, equity-focused solutions.
With a strong commitment to global health, I aim to contribute to resilient health systems by leveraging implementation science, strategic partnerships, and capacity-building approaches that enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of public health programs.
