Public Health Program Leadership & Policy Engagement
I have spearheaded operational improvements and staff development with a strong focus on excellence and accountability. By enforcing compliance with GCLP and international standards, I led laboratory operations to achieve 100% success with minimal error rates. I championed the implementation of Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) as a quality improvement tool, which not only enhanced operational efficiency but also boosted staff confidence and cultivated a strong quality-driven culture. To sustain continuous growth, I successfully secured annual training budgets for laboratory teams, ensuring skill advancement and professional development. In addition, I played a key role in achieving 100% community engagement and significantly reducing participant loss in follow-up studies — milestones that strengthened both research outcomes and community trust.
