I am a dedicated researcher and academic in public administration, driven by a passion for social justice and a commitment to helping marginalized communities. My work is focused on understanding and improving access to essential services for underrepresented groups, with a particular emphasis on gender and public health.
My research is unified by the central theme of creating more equitable societies. I aim to use my expertise in areas like gender, crisis management, and public health to advocate for and contribute to more just public policies and service delivery. While I am still defining my unique niche, my goal is to be a voice for those who are unrepresented or underrepresented, helping to create tangible, positive change.
My academic achievements, including securing the first position in my Master of Social Science and the Best Intern Award from the Institute of Policy Research, demonstrate my rigorous work ethic and commitment to producing high-quality research. These recognitions are not just titles; they signify my dedication to intellectual inquiry and my ability to translate research into real-world applications.
