What I'm looking for

I seek a senior public health role where I can lead research-driven programs, influence policy, build partnerships, and scale evidence-based interventions in a collaborative, impact-focused environment.

I am a public health professional with over seven years of experience working on non-communicable diseases, tuberculosis, antimicrobial resistance, and health policy across Nepal, Thailand, and Japan.

I have led and managed research and program implementation activities, including grant writing, strategic planning, surveillance, and multi-sectoral stakeholder engagement across government, academia, and civil society.

My track record includes serving as Research Manager, Program Manager, Co‑investigator, and Study Coordinator on longitudinal and intervention studies, producing peer‑reviewed publications and translating evidence into policy and practice.

I bring pragmatic, community-centered solutions, strong analytical rigor, and experience building capacity and partnerships to deliver measurable public health outcomes.
