​Passionate about guiding and supporting students in their professional journeys. Being a supervisor allows me to make a meaningful impact by fostering growth and development of aspiring students. A decade of experience as an academic and researcher in nursing and public health has endowed me with valuable knowledge and skills that I want to take forward and share through this interactions. Over and above, seeing students succeed and knowing that I was part of their journey is incredibly rewarding.​
