What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine evidence-based health education, research partnerships, and AI/digital thinking to scale high-impact wellness outcomes—while using strong project leadership, communication, and instructional design.

I’m a Lecturer and Module Lead focused on evidence-based learning. I deliver lectures, design assessments to measure learning outcomes, and update coursework to keep it industry-relevant.

I also bring hands-on health impact through executive coaching and fitness/nutrition work. I design personalized wellness plans that improve engagement, support sustainable behavior change, and enhance health outcomes and productivity.

In research and leadership roles, I’ve built partnerships that accelerate innovation and expand funding. As a Research and Partnerships Manager, I cultivated strategic alliances, negotiated collaborative agreements, and strengthened the organization’s research positioning.

Earlier, as a Senior Scientist and Project Manager, I engineered and implemented novel clinical protocols with strict regulatory compliance. I spearheaded multidisciplinary research that improved the reliability of epidemiological data and supported public health decisions.
