What I'm looking for

I seek clinical roles that combine patient care, QI and research with opportunities to apply public health and digital communication skills to improve preventive health and education.

I am a GMC-registered doctor with over two years of NHS experience in General Surgery and primary care, complemented by an MSc in Nutrition for Global Health and international clinical rotations. I have led quality improvement projects, coordinated rotas for junior doctors, and contributed to multi-centre research while delivering patient-centred surgical and emergency care.

I build audience-focused health content as a content creator, driving organic reach of over one million monthly views and using analytics to validate engagement strategies. I combine clinical expertise, public health insight and digital communication skills to advance preventative health, education and service improvement.
