What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level clinical or biomedical engineering role where I can grow technical skills, support patient-safe equipment use, and work within a collaborative healthcare team.

I am a recent Diploma in Medical Engineering graduate with hands-on experience installing, maintaining, and calibrating biomedical equipment through attachments and volunteer placements. I work efficiently under supervision, supporting technicians and clinical staff while ensuring patient safety and accurate documentation.

During industrial attachment at Nyeri County Referral Hospital and volunteer work at Outspan Hospital, I performed routine inspections, basic troubleshooting, safety checks, and helped produce equipment performance and service records. These experiences strengthened my technical problem-solving, teamwork, and attention to detail.

I am tech-friendly, quick to learn new tools, and committed to contributing reliable technical support in clinical settings while continuing to grow my expertise in biomedical device maintenance and technical documentation.
