What I'm looking for

I am seeking research roles in health systems or policy that use qualitative and quantitative methods, ethical stakeholder engagement, and opportunities to influence policy and improve health system outcomes.

I am a public health researcher and research scholar with a strong background in health systems, policy, and management, holding a Master's in Public Health (Health System, Policy and Management). I bring experience in qualitative and quantitative research methods, data collection, and analysis applied to health system topics and antimicrobial resistance.

My practical experience spans primary health care support, water quality analysis, and teaching biology; I have worked as a Healthcare Assistant and Quality Assurance Officer, and I conduct in-depth interviews and systematic reviews as part of academic research projects. I have presented research at international forums and submitted manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals.

I value evidence-based approaches that inform policy and practice, ethical research conduct, and collaboration with stakeholders to improve health system outcomes. I seek opportunities where I can contribute research expertise, strengthen health systems, and translate findings into actionable policies.
