My expertise spans adult emergency care, occupational health, and chronic disease management.

As a Master’s degree holder in Chronic Disease Management and Health Services Administration, I have lectured extensively at the National Public Health School on strategies for risk stratification and transitioning healthcare systems towards value-based care models. My work emphasizes predictive modeling and patient engagement, focusing on delivering quality care while ensuring financial sustainability.
In addition to my clinical roles, I am deeply committed to leadership and operational excellence.
