Educational/professional background
I am a public health researcher with experience in maternal and child health, mental health, non-communicable diseases, emergency care, and climate change and health. Currently, I work as a Research Specialist at Aga Khan University’s Centre of Excellence in Women and Child Health and serve as a member of United for Global Mental Health’s Climate Change & Environment Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG). As a Chevening Scholar, I completed my MSc Public Health at LSHTM.
What I have been doing since graduating
Since graduating from LSHTM, I have continued to build my career in public health research, working across maternal and child health, non-communicable diseases, mental health, emergency care, and climate and health. My work at Aga Khan University includes developing and implementing research studies, evidence synthesis, mixed-methods research, stakeholder engagement, and translating findings for policy and practice. I have also remained involved in international collaborations and initiatives focused on health equity and emerging global health challenges.
What I enjoyed most about studying my programme/at LSHTM
What I enjoyed most about LSHTM was the people. I made some amazing friends and loved being part of such a diverse international community. Studying alongside people from different cultures and professional backgrounds made the experience much richer, both personally and academically.
