​

I am a Lecturer in Global Public Health in the School of Health and Social Care at the University of Essex. I have expertise in Maternal Health and Community Health Systems, Health Policy and Practice, including Health System Strengthening, Health Inequalities and Disaster Resilience in the Global South. I use these skills to teach MSc Global Public Health students. 

Prior to this lectureship, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow and a Global Challenge Fellow in the Department of Politics and International Relation in the University of Sheffield. I have also worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) in Stanford University. 

In this 4-year research project on the Impact of Federalisation on Health System in Nepal, I have been involved as a co-investigator. I have contributed to the project design and delivery particularly in designing Participatory Policy/Problem Analysis (PPA) workshops. I will also be supporting researchers in data analysis and writing outputs for publications.
