My Journey

Moments that shaped me.

Ways I try to help.

Starting as a physical therapist, I experienced the power of preventive care and the impact of social determinants on health. A journey in Public Health broadens my perspective. I've worked in US healthcare practices and in Pakistan's rural landscapes; leading me to work with various communities, addressing disparities, and advocating for health equity in every healthcare system.
