What I'm looking for

I seek roles in public health research or operations that emphasize data-driven decision-making, collaboration with stakeholders, and opportunities to impact community health and policy.

I am an epidemiologist with three years of experience in the US healthcare sector and current public health field operations and research in India, combining practical fieldwork with rigorous data analysis.

I have led and contributed to projects on primary healthcare accessibility, maternal health, antibiotic resistance, and surveillance, and I have secured competitive grants while collaborating with industry partners and local health authorities.

My strengths include statistical analysis, clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, health economics, and effective communication; I bring a problem-solving, collaborative approach and a track record of improving efficiency and delivering measurable research outcomes.
