Personal
Statement

 I am a public health physician
and implementation researcher with a strong focus on geriatric public health,
maternal health, and community-based health systems strengthening. My work
emphasizes the integration of life-course approaches and context-sensitive
strategies into primary healthcare, especially in low-resource settings. With a
background in conducting large-scale surveys and mixed-methods research, I am
passionate about bridging evidence with policy and practice through
co-designed, interdisciplinary methods. My goal is to generate actionable
insights that advance equitable health outcomes, strengthen primary healthcare systems,
and empower communities.
