Biography
I am currently working as an assistant professor at the Agriculture University in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. I did my Ph.D., M.Sc. (Hons), and B.Sc. (Hons) in Human Nutrition from the University of Agriculture, Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. I worked in different public and private sectors. I worked with the United Nations World Food Program for more than three years during protracted relief and recovery (PRRO) and emergency operations (EmOp) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. I also worked as a nutrition coordinator with Save the Children International in different emergencies from 2009–2011. As a coordinator, I played a vital role in the militancy and flood-affected districts of KP for the inception of Community Nutrition (CMAM & IYCF) and strengthening the capacity of health staff for effective and timely identification and treatment of malnourished children and pregnant and lactating mothers.
At the management level, I developed a different proposal for CERF, ERF, DFID, etc., and secured appreciable funding for the execution of in-kind and soft component support to different nutrition implementing partners. Being an active cluster member highlighted the issues related to malnutrition and devised the agreed coping strategies.
