🦋 My journey has been like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

At first, I felt trapped and unsure.

But over time, I learned to spread my wings and find my true path.

🌱 I started my career as a doctor, treating patients and diagnosing health conditions.

But I dreamed of something bigger—impacting public health on a larger scale.

So, I transitioned to public health, where I found my true calling.

For over 10 years, I’ve worked on projects improving health for vulnerable populations.

🌍 I’ve led multimillion-dollar initiatives and collaborated with WHO and UNICEF.

But the biggest challenge came when I moved to Canada.

I had to rebuild my career from scratch as an immigrant.

It wasn’t easy, but I soon realized:

🔑 I wasn’t the only one facing this challenge.

That’s when I knew I wanted to help others like me.

I am Guiding immigrants and public health professionals through career challenges with empathy, real-world experience, and the right tools—because I’ve been there too.

💼 What I Bring to the Table

🎓 Over 10 years of experience in healthcare and public health.

💖 I’ve worked in maternal and child health, nutrition, and cervical cancer.

🌍 I’ve led projects and collaborated with global organizations like WHO and UNICEF.

But it’s my experience as an immigrant that drives my passion.

I understand the struggles of starting over in a new country.

And I’m here to help others navigate their own journeys with the support I wish I had.

"𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵."

This is especially true in public health. It’s not just a job—it’s a mission.


Think of your path in three parts:

• Knowledge (What) – What do you need to know?
• Passion (How) – How do you want to make a difference?
• Purpose (Why) – Why does it matter? (Most important!)


Understanding this framework helps you create real impact.


Here’s a simple roadmap:

1️⃣ Find your passion
What public health issues excite you? What makes you want to take action?

2️⃣ Build your skills
What knowledge, training, or experience will help you make a difference?

3️⃣ Set clear goals
What outcomes matter to you? How will you measure your success?




Examples:

Public Health Official
Passion: Reduce health disparities
Skills: Epidemiology & policy-making
Goal: Implement programs that improve access to care

Health Educator
Passion: Empower communities with knowledge
Skills: Designing workshops & materials
Goal: Improve health literacy in schools & communities

Researcher
Passion: Solve global health challenges
Skills: Conduct studies & collaborate with experts
Goal: Publish findings that shape public health policy



Your career in public health is more than a job—it’s a journey to make a difference.
