Overview

As a research associate in the Mental Health Department, I provide support in coordinating research and performing data analysis and management for projects related to substance use (tobacco, alcohol, opioids, and cannabis) and mobile health (mHealth) research. My focus is on studying substance use behavior using event-level data.

My academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from Pokhara University, a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Purbanchal University, a Master of Public Health (MPH) from the University of Oviedo and Catholic University of Louvain, and a Master of Science in Data Science from Maryville University.
