About

I am a professor with extensive experience in adult health nursing, research, evidence synthesis, and leadership. I lead with a vision to bridge academia, clinical excellence, and impactful translational research. I am currently serving as the Head of the Department of Medical Surgical Nursing at Sri Ramachandra Faculty of Nursing, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (Deemed to be University), Chennai, India. With a PhD in Nursing from Manipal University, Manipal, India, and ongoing FAIMER Fellowship training at PSG FAIMER Regional Institute, a unit of the International FAIMER Institute, Philadelphia, USA, my journey reflects a steadfast commitment to mentorship, academic leadership, and transformative nursing research.

I am driven to advance nursing academia and research by harnessing complementary therapies, yoga, biomarkers, cardiovascular science, and digital health innovations. My goal is to transform cardiovascular care and rehabilitation through evidence-based, technology-enabled, and globally collaborative approaches.
