Focused Healthcare Professional and Researcher demonstrating a specialty in Rehabilitation sciences and Community Engagement. Astute professional with 9 years of experience for working towards effective treatments for neurological conditions like stroke, TB meningitis and other debilitating conditions. The pandemic and the challenges faced while implementing the policies and the lack of facilities at the primary healthcare system across the globe, especially in low and middle-income countries, inclined my interest towards taking formal education in public health with interest in assessment, evaluation and planning at the organizational and community levels by working on the social inequities, and intersectionality between social determinants and strategies of management. I position myself as Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
