What I'm looking for

I seek a public health role where I lead surveillance and outbreak response, apply data-driven strategies, mentor teams, and support system strengthening in a collaborative, mission-focused organization.

I am a mission-driven public health epidemiologist with 7+ years of experience in communicable disease surveillance, case investigation, and outbreak response. I combine technical expertise in SORMAS, SPSS, R, Power BI, and Epi Info with proven field leadership across outbreak investigations, immunization programs, and HDSS operations.

I have led multi-disciplinary teams, strengthened surveillance systems, and supported WHO and national ministries to improve reporting timeliness, case validation, and immunization coverage. I deliver data-driven recommendations, build capacity through training, and translate complex epidemiologic data into actionable public health interventions.
