I advance health equity through community oral health, clinical care, and public health research.
What I'm looking for
I've led community dental health education with Houston Health's Project Saving Smiles and supported patient outreach at Harris Health to improve continuity of care.
Across clinical, research, and public health roles with Colgate-Palmolive, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical & Research Centre, and Aesthetica Dental & Aesthetics, I've delivered preventive and restorative dental care, coordinated IRB-compliant oral health research, and developed school-based oral hygiene programs for rural communities.
With an MSc in Dental Public Health, Leadership & Policy, I bring over 15 years of cross-sector experience advancing health equity, community-engaged research, policy, and preventive care initiatives.
