SummaryA goal-orientated, adaptable and independent individual with 5 years of experience in investigation, outbreak incident response, stakeholder training and crisis operations who is currently seeking to build a long-term career in an organization which requires substantial experience in crisis preparedness, incident response and management. Having held leadership in small operations team for incident response, I have accumulated extensive experience in operations deployment.

Demonstrated ability to work in a fast paced environment with limited resources and tight deadlines as a Public Health Officer during outbreaks and crisis. Being able to keep a calm and focused mind during outbreaks and crisis is one of my greatest strength. Strategic planning, focus, meticulous, flexible mindset and inquisitiveness are my key strengths.

With my skills and experiences, I am confident of applying a logical, systematic and evidence-based approach in problem identification and solving. I am committed to the upholding the mission and values of any organization essential to its success.
