What I'm looking for

I seek roles in public health or clinical practice where I can apply clinical experience, research skills, and teaching ability to improve population health and deliver evidence-based programs.

I am a medical graduate with broad clinical and medical–surgical experience across multiple hospital settings, a strong theoretical foundation in adult health and disease processes, and practical patient-management skills. I have delivered physiotherapy care for diverse inpatient and outpatient populations and contributed to clinical teaching.

I have experience as a part-time ESL tutor and lecturer, designing lessons and instructional materials, supporting student learning, and participating in academic assessment. My research has focused on public health topics including COVID-19 prevention practices and rehabilitation interventions to improve balance in older adults.

I hold certifications in basic life support and public health/STD curricula, and I am eager to develop as a public health specialist to contribute significantly to my country’s public health sector, bringing clinical insight, research skills, and strong communication to multidisciplinary teams.
