About
A physician and public health professional with a strong analytics foundation.
I hold a Doctor of Medicine degree and a Master of Public Health from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, with a focus on epidemiology and biostatistics. My experience spans public health research, data analysis, program evaluation, and community health strategy across U.S. and international settings — including work in humanitarian and conflict-affected contexts.
I have led data collection and analysis for mental health programs, built Power BI dashboards for healthcare training programs, supported evidence generation for program evaluation, and managed digital health platforms. I am especially interested in work that improves access, strengthens health systems, and translates complex data into decisions that matter for real people.
I am actively seeking opportunities in public health data analytics, health informatics, program evaluation, and research in the Washington, D.C. metro area and beyond. I bring clinical insight, quantitative rigor, and a commitment to equity to every project I take on.
What I do
Services and areas of contribution
I support organizations and teams that need strong analytical thinking, evidence synthesis, data storytelling, and public health insight.
Data Analysis & Visualization
I clean, analyze, and visualize health data using STATA, Python, SQL, and Power BI. Whether it's building dashboards for program managers or running regression models for research teams, I turn raw datasets into insights that drive decisions.
Program Evaluation
I design and evaluate public health programs using mixed methods — from quantitative outcome measurement to qualitative stakeholder synthesis. My work helps teams understand what's working, what isn't, and what to change.
Research & Technical Reporting
I conduct literature reviews, synthesize evidence, and produce technical reports for both specialist and non-specialist audiences. My goal is always clarity: making complex findings accessible and actionable.
