About Me
I work at the intersection of pharmaceutical governance and public health, focusing on access to medicines in complex and unequal systems.
As an Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) officer, I explore how quality, access, and regulation interact in formal, informal, and digital settings. Earlier in my career, I saw protecting people from poor-quality medicines largely as a matter of regulatory enforcement. Over time, this shifted as I encountered the limits of that approach in settings where access is uneven and informal channels are part of everyday care. This led me to engage more critically with health systems, governance, and the broader conditions shaping how medicines are used in practice.

How I Think
Grounded in practice
I approach public health questions through real-world systems, drawing from regulatory experience and how policies operate in practice.
Systems-oriented
I focus on how different actors and structures interact: across public, private, and informal spaces, rather than viewing problems in isolation.
Attentive to access and inequality
I am particularly interested in how inequities shape access to medicines, and how this influences both risks and health outcomes.
Bridging policy and reality
I aim to connect formal policy frameworks with how people actually navigate care, especially in settings where regulation alone is not sufficient.
What I Value
I value work that takes complexity seriously, without simplifying how health systems actually function.
I am drawn to approaches that stay close to real-world conditions and engage with the tensions between access and safety.
I see my work as an ongoing process of learning, where questioning assumptions and looking at problems from a different side matter.
