About me

I am a public health professional with over five years of experience, and three masters degrees in multiple disciplines. I hold a Master of Public Administration from Columbia University, a Master of Public Health from the University of Melbourne, and a Master of Public Policy from the Hertie School, Berlin. I focused on international development and data analytics at Columbia, global health at Melbourne, and quantitative policy analysis at Hertie.

I previously worked as a Consultant with the WHO Regional Office for Europe, leading and managing a project surveying population salt consumption across the WHO European Region. I was also a Research Fellow at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health (MSPGH), where I undertook research in disaster resilience and recovery, climate change and health, and COVID-19. I also held teaching responsibilities in three different subjects across both the Master of Public Health and Doctor of Medicine programmes. Additionally, I worked as a Policy Analyst at CPC Analytics, a policy consultancy firm based in Berlin and Pune, undertaking research and consulting projects on global health and development issues.

Professionally, I am passionate about health policy and governance, international development, noncommunicable diseases, the political economy of health, and sustainable food systems. Personally, I am a keen photographer, a concert organist, and an aspiring polyglot. I speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English; and have studied to varying degrees German, Russian, and Danish previously.
