Experienced public health and nutrition specialist with a strong background in maternal and child health, community health systems, and USAID-funded global health programs. Committed to improving population health through evidence-based interventions, leadership, and innovative community-driven approaches.
I am a senior global health and nutrition professional with over 25 years of experience leading and advising large-scale public health, nutrition, and community health systems programs across Asia and Africa. My work has primarily focused on maternal and child health, nutrition, quality improvement, and community-based health systems, particularly within USAID-funded initiatives.
Throughout my career, I have held senior leadership and advisory roles with international organizations, government partners, and academic institutions. I have played a pivotal role in designing and scaling nationally recognized programs such as Nepal’s National Vitamin A Program, contributed to peer-reviewed research, and developed innovative community mobilization and health system strengthening frameworks that are applied internationally.
