About

I am a Medical Doctor committed to advancing medical education by mentoring and empowering undergraduate students to engage in meaningful research. With a solid background in both clinical care and educational leadership, I bring a dual lens that emphasizes the critical role of research in improving patient outcomes. I believe that by championing undergraduate research development, we’re not only preparing students for future studies but also fostering a culture of evidence-based medicine and lifelong learning. This is why the Health Research Nexus (HeRN) exists. If you’re interested in collaboration or share a commitment to elevating undergraduate research, feel free to reach out at [email protected]. I look forward to connecting with fellow professionals who value research, mentorship, and transformative medical education.
