I am based in Geneva, Switzerland and working as a technical officer of Global Tuberculosis Programme in the World Health Organization - working for TB economics, finance and data management.

I am a research degree student in Health Economics, enrolled in the Joint PhD Programme between LSHTM and Nagasaki University, Japan. My research topics are: assessing costs incurred by households with concurrent TB and diabetes, costs to provide diabetes outpatient services for TB patients, (extended) cost effectiveness analysis of providing diabetes screening and diagnosis integrated within TB programme in the Philippines.

I obtained my degree in Physics from Tohoku University, Japan and hold an MPH from School of Tropical Medicine and Global Health, Nagasaki University, Japan.
