I pursued my Bachelor and Professional Degrees in Nursing at the Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogjakarta. During my undergraduate study, I received a scholarship from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency for Spring Semester intake given to undergraduate students to study and join clinical placements in some universities, hospitals and primary healthcare centers in Sweden. These experiences had led me to choose community nursing as my area of interest. After graduating, I joined a multidisciplinary team under the Provincial Health Office’s project for one year to provide free healthcare services to vulnerable populations in under-served areas in Bali such as in Karangasem, Buleleng and Bangli regencies.

I began my career in Universitas Udayana in 2010 as a non-permanent lecturer and through the Australian Development Scholarship in 2012, I pursued my postgraduate program in Master of Nursing Science (MNS) at the University of Adelaide in Australia and received a recognition for my academic excellence from the University of Adelaide and from the Golden Key International Honour Society.

Since 2014, I have become a civil servant in Universitas Udayana and at the same year I was assigned as the school’s international partnership coordinator. I had initiated several international partnerships, such as with The University of Rhode Islands (USA), University of Kochi (Japan), Kindai Himeji University (Japan), Our Lady of Fatima University (The Philippines), and Prince of Songkla University (Thailand). Then, in 2018, I have been appointed as the academic coordinator of the school of nursing’ undergraduate program.

As a lecturer, my teaching specialties are in the areas of community, gerontology and family nursing. My research interests and publications are in the field of health promotion, health-promoting lifestyles, self-care in nursing, m-health, nursing education and professionalism, as well as travel health nursing.

Currently, I am an active member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honour Society of Nursing Phi Gamma Chapter and also join the American Travel Health Nurse Association.
