Summary

With 10 years of experience in health science in the UK and Bangladesh, I have developed myself as a hard-working, curious, and keen learner. Five years of research experience in a high-ranked medical and nursing college in Bangladesh and presenting research articles in international seminars made me a fluent orator. The most interesting part of my teaching career was teaching in a nursing college in Bangladesh, the UK, and the United States. I was involved in the health student research network of Teesside University, UK, as an executive member, and I have been awarded a “leadership certificate” for contributing to establishing a joint “MoU” between Bangladesh Bioethics Society and Teesside University research networks. Magna Cum Laude, Merit's award, and Dean Fellowship awards are my three academic achievements. I believe in gross national happiness, not gross domestic products. I was engaged in the Community Awareness program regarding vaccination, Child and maternal health, communicable and non-communicable diseases, and social injustice (domestic violence) for “My Sisters Place.” I am also involved in Mental Health Services in National Media and was awarded the Best Lecturer award from the Bangladesh Association for the Aged and Institute of Geriatric Medicine.
