What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging health data and informatics to inform policy and improve clinical outcomes, in collaborative, research-driven teams that value evidence-based innovation and equitable care.

I am a health informatics specialist with a Master of Health Sciences and over five years supporting evidence-based decision-making through data analysis, health policy research, and simulation-based training.

I design and evaluate virtual simulation training and have led projects integrating gamified learning and clinical workflows, partnering with hospitals and technology developers to scale tech-based training solutions.

My work includes systematic reviews using EPPI-Reviewer, quantitative and qualitative data extraction and meta-synthesis, and co-authoring multiple peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

I am advancing technical proficiency in Python, SQL, and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, QuickSight) to deliver actionable insights across clinical and public health settings and to inform policy that supports equitable healthcare innovation.
