Maimoona Khalid

I am particularly passionate about advancing digital and mental health literacy, improving health services, especially within pre‑hospital and emergency care, and enhancing healthcare access for vulnerable populations. I am also dedicated to contributing to collaborative, capacity‑building research cultures that support mentorship, peer learning, and meaningful societal impact.

I am an emerging public health researcher with growing expertise in research, evidence synthesis, and population health. My work focuses on mental health, digital wellbeing, first responder support, migrant and refugee health, and pre‑hospital care. During my Master’s, I led and contributed to several international research projects, resulting in multiple forthcoming publications and presentations at a conference in the United States.

I am committed to producing research that informs policy, strengthens health systems, and improves real‑world outcomes for diverse and underserved populations. My clinical background in dentistry, combined with my academic foundation in public health, has equipped me with a strong interdisciplinary perspective and the ability to work across a wide range of public health issues. This training has shaped my interest in participatory research, experience‑based co‑design, and community‑engaged approaches that elevate the voices of those most affected by health inequities.
