I have not worked as a journalist in a newsroom role. My writing has primarily been in the medical and academic field, focused on obstetrics, maternal health, and health systems improvement. My early experience included writing on digital health topics such as artificial intelligence in maternal care, which later developed into peer-reviewed clinical and academic publications.

I use a combination of clinical, administrative, and academic tools in my work. For hospital operations and patient management, I rely on electronic medical records and hospital information systems used at Hospital. For academic writing and research, I use PubMed, reference management tools such as Mendeley or Zotero, and journal submission platforms. I also use standard productivity tools like Microsoft Office for documentation and analysis.

I’m not focused on specific individuals following me. What matters more to me is that my work in maternal health, clinical safety, and health system improvement reaches the people who can use it—clinicians, hospital teams, and policymakers—so it can translate into better care and outcomes for patients.

No, I did not work for my high school newspaper. My early focus was on science and clinical training rather than journalism, and I later became more involved in healthcare practice, clinical research, and medical writing within obstetrics and hospital administration.

I don’t have a single favorite publication, but I regularly follow peer-reviewed medical journals that focus on obstetrics, gynecology, anesthesia, and health systems research. Journals like The Lancet, BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Anesthesia are particularly valuable because they combine strong clinical evidence with global perspectives on maternal health. I also pay attention to guideline updates from organizations such as WHO, RCOG, and ACOG, as they directly influence clinical practice in resource-limited settings like mine.
