What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical role in a collaborative hospital or research setting where I can deliver acute and specialty care, contribute to clinical research, and grow in pediatrics or nephrology.

I am a dedicated medical officer with experience across pediatrics, emergency medicine, nephrology, and intensive care settings, delivering patient-centered, high-quality care.

I have managed acute life-threatening conditions, performed adult and pediatric intubation, mechanical ventilation, dialysis care including catheter insertion, and prepared patients for transplant sessions.

My background includes leading clinic teams, conducting clinical research, and improving case management processes; I bring strong communication, teamwork, and clinical research skills.

I hold an MBChB and certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Life Support, Good Clinical Practice, and data/AI courses in healthcare, and I seek opportunities to apply and grow my clinical and research expertise.
