“Falling Into Public Health: How an Unexpected Path Led to a Global Health Consulting Career”
A featured conversation hosted by Omari Richins (@thephmillennial) on systems-level public health practice and how independent consulting supports sustainable health outcomes.

An op-ed reflecting on the systems-level priorities needed to sustain progress in the HIV response and improve global health outcomes through effective public health consulting services.
Public health challenges rarely exist in isolation. Progress in one area depends on coherence across the system as a whole.
For this reason, Nadia’s work is grounded in systems thinking. Rather than focusing on individual components in isolation, she examines how institutions, policies, financing, and operational realities interact. Whether supporting preparedness planning, infrastructure investment, or evidence synthesis, the emphasis is on alignment: between priorities and resources, strategy and implementation, and ambition and feasibility.
A systems-oriented approach brings clarity. It helps identify leverage points, anticipate trade-offs, and support decisions that are realistic within institutional and contextual constraints.
Nadia provides independent advisory support to public health organisations navigating complex initiatives that require clarity, coordination, and systems-level thinking.
Her work spans a range of interconnected domains, tailored to the specific needs of each engagement.
Across all engagements, the approach remains consistent: structured analysis, alignment across stakeholders, and solutions that are realistic within institutional and contextual constraints.

Support to design or strengthen public health interventions within complex health systems, including clarification of programme objectives, assessment of system constraints and interdependencies, and alignment of intervention strategies with implementation realities.

Support to develop clear, rigorous technical documents for donor- and partner-facing processes, including proposals, concept notes, project narratives, results frameworks, analytical briefs, and quality assurance of complex documentation.

Technical and advisory support to strengthen the financing readiness of public health initiatives, including funding applications, alignment between programme design and budgets, and reinforcement of investment logic and funding narratives.

Support to design or strengthen monitoring, evaluation, and learning frameworks that balance accountability requirements with learning and decision-making needs, including development of indicators, evaluation methodologies, and structured approaches to adaptive management.
