Experienced educator, researcher and community development leader with 20 years of professional experience in Social and Public policy. I have been doing strategic policy and socio-economic research work since last fifteen years. My roles have focused extensively on social and human service issues, including health equity, violence prevention, indigenous health and ecology, governance, child rights and gender justice. I have been particularly interested in the development of strategic and tactical initiatives that address the factors of structural inequities impacting disadvantaged and marginalized populations. To this effect, I have led complex policy and data analyses to inform evidence based policy frameworks.
Excellent command over qualitative and mixed method research. Extensive global fieldwork experience with disadvantaged region and vulnerable communities.
