Individual classes and evaluation designs, qualitative data analysis.

I hold a PhD in Health Behavior Health Promotion and have been actively involved in the realm of evaluation since 2012. As an evaluation and research specialist at World Vision, an international development organization, I led various evaluation and research initiatives, employing methodologies such as in-depth interviews, observations, focus group discussions, and surveys. My current research emphasis revolves around health disparities among refugee populations, particularly focusing on their healthcare access and navigation in host countries. Over the years, I have conducted numerous training workshops on evaluation and research methods, with a specific expertise in qualitative data analysis.
