What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in public health research.

I am a dedicated researcher and educator with a PhD in Human Nutrition from Jimma University, where I achieved a CGPA of 3.90/4.00. My dissertation focused on the effects of double-duty interventions on malnutrition among adolescents in Central Ethiopia, showcasing my commitment to addressing public health challenges. I also hold an MPH in Public Health Nutrition with a perfect CGPA of 4.00, further solidifying my expertise in this field.

Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor at Debre Berhan University, where I lead research initiatives and contribute to strategic planning. My professional journey has equipped me with strong managerial and communication skills, allowing me to effectively engage in multi-sectoral collaborations and present my research at various conferences. I am passionate about designing impactful nutrition and public health research projects that address pressing health issues.
