About Me

Personal Mission

Losing my father to sudden cardiac arrest 19 years ago, my two cousins to preventable health conditions, and a neighbor to uncontrolled bleeding has fueled my lifelong commitment to emergency response training. These experiences reinforced the urgent need for bystander intervention—because saving lives in prehospital emergencies isn’t just the responsibility of medical professionals; it’s a skill everyone should have.

Academic Background and Research

I successfully completed my PhD research ahead of schedule—a challenging yet rewarding journey made possible through my dedication, curiosity, and the guidance of supportive mentors. My research experience, coupled with a passion for understanding societal structures, has shaped my approach to bridging knowledge gaps in emergency response and beyond.
