What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my statistical skills in healthcare, fostering patient care and data-driven decision-making.

As an accomplished healthcare professional with a Bachelor's Degree in Statistics from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, I bring a unique blend of statistical expertise and compassionate care. My proficiency in R language, SPSS, and Excel allows me to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets, which I apply to enhance patient care and operational efficiency in healthcare settings.

Throughout my career, I have gained significant experience as a Healthcare Assistant and Nursing Assistant, providing dedicated support to individuals with diverse needs, including those with mental health challenges and disabilities. My commitment to patient safety and well-being is evident in my adherence to infection control protocols and my ability to build strong relationships with patients and their families. I am currently enhancing my skills through ongoing studies with the Royal College of Nursing, focusing on diabetes management and foundational nursing practices.
