Utter incompetence! My dreaming is never able to conjure up the desired creature. A tiger appears, sure enough, but an enfeebled tiger, a stuffed tiger, imperfect of form, or the wrong size or only fleetingly present, or looking something like a dog or a bird.
~ ‘Dreamtigers’ by JL Borges, translated by Alasdair Reid

I am a veterinary epidemiologist and support wildlife conservation projects that have co-benefits for public health management related to infectious disease and environmental sustainability. I am also interested in creativity and well-being for health and public servants - to a certain degree, I see these two concepts as being related in my own life. Thus, to those ends, this website is a platform for sharing my professional experiences and synopses of my essays which span from professional commentaries through creative fiction and non-fiction.
