I am a clinical nutrition expert at Arsi University, Ethiopia, with a focus on body composition and nutrigenomics in severely wasted children under five. I have experience teaching and mentoring in human nutrition, metabolism, and clinical dietetics at Addis Ababa University and conducting research on nutrition assessment, metabolic health, and dietary interventions, as well as hospital-acquired infections.

My work has contributed to publications on maternal and child nutrition, dietary strategies for disease mitigation, and public health nutrition, with research appearing in journals such as Frontiers in Pediatrics and BMJ Public Health. I am passionate about translating nutrition research into actionable interventions that improve health outcomes in vulnerable populations.
