What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead community- or campus-based mental health programmes, teach and mentor, drive rehabilitation-focused care, and work in multidisciplinary teams promoting inclusion and person-centered recovery.

I am a Consultant Psychiatrist with five years of clinical and community psychiatry experience, programme coordination, and multidisciplinary collaboration. I have led outreach and campus mental health programmes, delivered inpatient and outpatient care, and developed rehabilitation and wellbeing initiatives that improved functional outcomes and referral engagement.

I bring teaching and leadership experience from academic settings, have driven quality improvement projects and structured support programmes, and hold memberships in international psychiatric organisations. I am committed to person-centered care, empowerment, and integrating psychosocial rehabilitation into community and educational settings.
