What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities to contribute to digital health and immunization research—supporting evidence synthesis, policy-relevant reporting, and population health analysis—while collaborating with researchers and practitioners to reduce systemic health inequities.

I am a hardworking and ambitious master’s student in global health policy, applying training to real-world public health challenges through digital health and immunization research. I support pharmaceutical policy, economic evaluation, data management, statistical analysis, and evidence synthesis to strengthen health evidence appraisal and health system performance analysis.

I also bring strong evidence-to-impact skills: I conduct systematic literature searches and translate research findings into policy-relevant reports, presentations, and technical documentation for internal and external stakeholders. In my work with a Zambia-based NGO, I completed qualitative and quantitative analysis of school-health delivery systems, identifying policy gaps and recommending ways to improve system integration and equitable access to essential health services.

Beyond policy, I have hands-on experience in healthcare innovation as a Product Specialist, partnering with customers to implement biomedical research and clinical diagnostics solutions. I sharpened my communication, troubleshooting, and workflow optimization abilities while influencing stakeholder decisions through data analytics and customer-facing support, alongside my academic background in molecular biology and research methods.
