A public health expert trained in medical science, I am primarily a humanitarian health & health rights development practitioner. Global healthcare academic. For more than 15 years I have excelled at developing grant-funded scientific research with the objective of setting priorities’ to foster sustainable solutions within health systems all over the world. I have worked with governments to help them actualize data-driven healthcare advocacy for marginalized systems, communities and diseases, Further, by utilizing existing evidence within empirical scientific methodology I have been working towards making those within health systems as well as those affected by them – directly and indirectly – better equipped to utilize them. I do this via policy frameworks and program evaluation between the government, non-profit and private sectors’. I thus have extensive cross-cultural experience managing interdisciplinary research projects across multiple disciplines, varying cultural contexts, with ever-evolving skill-sets to deliver high-quality work at the cutting edge of research. During this time, I have pioneered a number of innovative techniques in both high- and low-resource settings for monitoring and evaluation, surveillance, research, training, public information and coordination at the country level within Africa, Asia and Europe for WHO and Medicins Sans Frontieres. I have been guided by a strong sense of duty and ethical principles, reflected in my career choices.
