biography

After completing my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Health Economics, I worked for different organizations (national, international, and UN) with the aim of contributing to research and public health interventions for improving the health status of the people. I am experienced in health economics research, low-cost innovations, and the area of health systems strengthening in lower and middle-income country settings.

In my spare time, I enjoy watching movies, and dramas and reading fiction and non-fiction novels. I also love site seeing, swimming, cycling, and meeting up with my friends.
