I am a Full Stack Product Leader specializing in Scaling Financial Products.

I bring 15+ years of financial experience, including 6 years managing $52B+ savings portfolios for Canada's largest banks (Scotiabank & TD), and now I am actively building in the Bitcoin space.

My core value is Agility. I adapt seamlessly between Strategy and Shipping, shifting instantly from defining the high-level vision to driving rapid execution.

I am fluent in:

* Financial Strategy: Deep expertise in P&L management, financial modeling, and risk assessment to ensure every feature drives revenue.

* Scientific Product Discovery: I reject "guessing." I use rigorous user research and rapid prototyping to validate what to build before engineering writes a single line of code, ensuring capital is never wasted on features nobody wants.

* Growth & Retention: Optimizing Unit Economics, reducing churn, and maximizing Lifetime Value (LTV) through data-driven decisions.

* Execution Excellence: PMP-certified leadership in Agile/Scrum and Process Re-engineering to turn messy requirements into predictable roadmaps.

* AI-Native Operations: Leveraging LLMs and AI tools to accelerate workflows and modernize product operations.

* User Adoption: Applying Behavioral Science and Change Management (ADKAR) to solve the hardest problem in Fintech: getting users to trust and use new products.

My superpower is combining Institutional Scale with Startup Speed. I know how to navigate complex regulations like a banker, but I ship and iterate with the agility of a founder.

🦋 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.

Here’s the truth: public health isn’t one career.
It’s at least five very different worlds — and most of us are never taught how to pick.


Public health isn’t just about “doing good.”
It’s about how you want to create impact.


After clinical work, field projects, and program leadership, this is how I see the field now:

🧭 World 1: Community & People-Centered Work
Care about trust, relationships, and lived experience?
→ Community health, outreach, maternal & child health



📊 World 2: Data & Evidence
Love patterns, research, and guiding decisions?
→ Epidemiology, research, monitoring & evaluation



🏛 World 3: Systems & Policy
Think in structures, equity, and long-term change?
→ Policy, health systems, advocacy



🤝 World 4: Programs & Leadership
Enjoy coordination, problem-solving, and delivery?
→ Program management, implementation, partnerships

🌍 World 5: Global & Cross-Cultural Health
Drawn to complexity, adaptation, and context?
→ Global health, humanitarian, equity-focused roles



The shift that changed everything for me:
Stop asking: “What job should I get?”
𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: “𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄?”

You don’t need the whole map.
You just need your starting point.

👉 If you’re in public health (or considering it):
Which world feels most like you today?
