What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead multi-site public health research and strengthen data quality—especially in maternal-child health, implementation research, and HIV—working with multidisciplinary teams to deliver evidence-based impact.

I am a public health and biomedical research professional with over 10 years of experience in epidemiological research, maternal and child health, early childhood development, HIV research, and community-based implementation studies. I bring proven expertise in coordinating multi-site research, supervising field operations, and strengthening data quality assurance through rigorous monitoring and verification.

In my recent roles, I have supported the design and coordination of studies on early childhood development and maternal-child health, including field implementation and team training in Pemba, Zanzibar. I have also coordinated multi-site pediatric HIV cohort work across India, managed national-level implementation across 11 study teams, and contributed to scientific documentation, reporting, and manuscript support—always with a focus on compliance, evidence generation, and field-ready execution.
