What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a public health or healthcare role where I can support communities through patient care, research, mental health, teaching, and health education.

I've supported patient care as a Medical Officer in Pakistan, assisting with history taking, diagnosis, and management of common gastric issues, including cirrhosis management and ascitic taps.

As a House Officer, I worked as the primary on-duty doctor across OPDs, ERs, OTs, and general wards in plastic surgery, general surgery, psychiatry, and general medicine. I managed presenting complaints and treatment under senior doctors' supervision.

I completed an MSc in Public Health at Middlesex University and conducted a systematic literature review on emotional negligence among children, identifying reported global prevalence figures of 75–83.8%.

I'm passionate about mental healthcare, teaching, and serving communities. I have also taught underprivileged primary-school children, trained peers in reproductive health management, and represented Pakistan and Sindhi culture as a U.S. Department of State exchange-program Cultural Ambassador.
