I am a highly self-motivated Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmaceutical Sciences, specializing in computer-aided drug discovery and development. My academic journey has equipped me with strong research expertise and a passion for advancing healthcare through innovative solutions. I have a proven track record of successful collaborations and contributions to quality improvement in healthcare settings.

As an independent consultant for the Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA), I have played a pivotal role in healthcare facility surveys and standards development. My efforts led to the successful accreditation of COHSASA’s Healthcare Facility Standards, demonstrating my commitment to enhancing healthcare quality. I have also contributed to the development of Rwanda's Private General Clinic Standards, showcasing my ability to work effectively in diverse environments.

In addition to my consulting work, I have extensive experience in quality improvement roles within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. My background includes positions at Shell Petroleum Development Company and various hospitals, where I focused on ensuring high standards of patient care and operational efficiency.
