Overview

More than seven years of teaching experience in a university background as a public health professional. I also have experience in program design and proctorship service at the university. I have worked in multidimensional fields, such as program-oriented tasks under INGO, the telemedicine sector, and clinical services. As an MBBS doctor and MPH graduate, I want to get involved in dynamic and challenging places where I can explore opportunities to implement my ideas to achieve my target through organizational procedures. I want to enhance my skills and compatibility, achieve the organization’s goals, and create mutual benefits. My research interest in occupational health and safety nonetheless includes non-communicable diseases too.
