What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I provide evidence-based nutrition and exercise interventions, lead wellness programs, collaborate with clinicians, and drive measurable patient outcomes in a supportive team.

I am a multidisciplinary healthcare professional working as a Clinical Nutritionist and Exercise Specialist, and a Visiting Consultant Nutritionist focused on female reproductive and hormonal health. I provide evidence-based dietary interventions, exercise prescriptions, and behavioral counseling for chronic lifestyle conditions including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver.

With formal training in physiotherapy (M.P.T. Orthopaedics) and additional certifications in nutrition, I create tailored meal plans and individualized treatment programs across pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum and chronic disease management. I have led wellness programs, corporate ergonomic interventions, seminars, medical camps, and patient education initiatives that improved long-term outcomes.

I combine clinical judgment, empathy, and cultural sensitivity to empower patients through sustainable lifestyle change, and I actively pursue continued learning in nutrition and healthcare management to deliver holistic, research-informed care.
