Throughout my career in public health and nutrition, I’ve been driven by a commitment to serve vulnerable populations and deliver impactful health solutions. Over the past seven years, I’ve managed health programs that target critical issues such as malnutrition, immunization gaps, and the spread of communicable diseases. My work has often involved responding to humanitarian emergencies—ranging from food shortages to natural disasters—where timely action and organized interventions are essential.
I bring a combination of technical knowledge and field-based experience, particularly in managing Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) cases. I’ve conducted community needs assessments, trained local health workers, and ensured the effective distribution of nutrition supplies and vaccines. My ability to coordinate large-scale efforts under pressure has allowed me to improve health outcomes while making the best use of limited resources.
My professional journey includes notable achievements, including being recognized among the top 10 performers in Pakistan for delivering on the objectives of the Benazir Nashu Noma Nutrition Program. I’ve also led vaccination campaigns and contributed to polio eradication efforts, ensuring strong stakeholder engagement and effective monitoring and evaluation practices. I find fulfillment in seeing programs through from planning to execution and using data to improve future outcomes.
I am continually working to sharpen my skills through training and real-world experience. My multidisciplinary background in clinical psychology, project coordination, and therapeutic intervention allows me to approach health challenges with a holistic mindset. I remain committed to building resilient health systems and supporting underserved communities with empathy, innovation, and dedication.
