Goals and interests
- Career goal
Public Health Practitioner and Researcher
- Graduate school interests
My research interests focus on maternal and child health, sexual and reproductive health with
an emphasis on the youth, and health systems improvement. I am particularly keen on finding
sustainable solutions to address the disparities in maternal and child health services in
resource-limited settings. I would also like to develop evidence-based strategies to address
sexual and reproductive health issues such as sexually transmitted infections, unintended
pregnancy, unsafe abortion, poor menstrual hygiene, gender-based violence, and barriers to
accessing sexual and reproductive health services. Additionally, I aim to examine how to
create well-functioning, resilient, and value-based health systems that efficiently deliver high quality care, adapt to unexpected public health crises, and prioritize equity to improve overall
health outcomes.- Outside the classroom
