As an assistant professor, I facilitate nursing undergraduate students to develop and refine scholarly knowledge, critical thinking, and practical skills for providing safe, competent, compassionate, and comprehensive nursing healthcare to individuals and communities.

I aim to significantly contribute to nursing education and exploring psychosocial health complexities for engaging communities and individuals in health promotion and risk reduction.

I co-lead the development and implementation of a dialogue-driven digital platforms based health promotion program aiming to support people managing their lifestyles that may help decrease the burden of chronic illnesses and associated mortality at the population-level in the post-pandemic world.
