What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical nursing role in a collaborative, improvement-focused organisation where I can advance perioperative and community care, mentor juniors, engage in quality improvement, and apply evidence-based and digital health practices to improve patient outcomes.

I am a licensed NMC nurse with over four years' hands-on experience delivering high-quality patient care across surgical, ophthalmic, rehabilitation, and community settings. I combine clinical competence in emergency and perioperative care with strong communication, leadership, and infection-control practices.

My roles have included staff nurse in general surgical wards, ophthalmic theatre nurse, and rehab nurse, where I managed fluid therapy, wound care, medication administration, and perioperative scrubbing for cataract and vitrectomy procedures. I mentor students, participate in audits and quality-improvement initiatives, and integrate evidence-based practice and digital health tools into care.

I hold a Diploma in Kenya Registered Nursing and Midwifery and am completing a BSc in Nursing & Midwifery; I maintain certifications in BLS, research ethics, and global health topics. I seek to contribute to a respected medical organization that prioritizes patient outcomes, professional growth, and continuous improvement.
