What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining clinical dietetics and program coordination where I can deliver nutrition services, lead training, and improve community health outcomes.

I am a Doctor of Diet and Nutritional Sciences with clinical internship experience at multiple Lahore hospitals and ongoing practice as a consultant dietitian. I combine evidence-based dietary management with strong communication and organizational skills to support patient recovery and health promotion.

I have coordinated district-level maternal and child health nutrition projects and managed program activities with NGOs, demonstrating program planning, stakeholder facilitation, and training delivery. I have led and facilitated training sessions in collaboration with partner organizations such as Shifa Foundation and WFP.

My strengths include nutrition education, clinical dietetics, nutritional research, and proficiency with MS Office and presentation tools. I aim to apply my clinical experience and program coordination skills to improve community and hospital nutrition services.
