What I'm looking for

I seek clinical and program roles where I can lead MHPSS initiatives, train staff, improve patient care, and work in humanitarian or hospital settings with opportunities for leadership and impact.

I am a medical doctor with focused expertise in psychiatry, mental health program development, and clinical care across inpatient, outpatient and emergency settings. I have worked in multiple psychiatric hospitals and educational institutions in Somalia, contributing to patient assessment, treatment planning and implementation using mhGAP-HIG and IASC guidelines.

My experience includes leadership in hospital management, lecturing in psychology and mental health for university health faculties, and designing and evaluating MHPSS interventions in humanitarian and clinical contexts. I led a field assessment of psychosocial needs for children in Mogadishu and completed a master's thesis on stigma toward mental illness among medical students.

I am committed to improving community mental health, mentoring staff, and strengthening clinical services through training, clear team communication, and adherence to humanitarian and medical ethics. I am comfortable working across regions and multicultural environments and use Microsoft Office and basic database tools to support my work.
