What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role in clinical care or public health research where I can apply medical training, grow professionally, and contribute to patient-centered programs.

I am a newly-qualified medical doctor with rigorous academic training from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and a strong commitment to continuous professional growth.

I have practical experience through internships, research assistance at the KNUST School of Public Health, and leadership roles with AIESEC and Osmosis by Elsevier where I led partnership development and co-led health equity hackathon projects.

My strengths include clear verbal and written communication, research and analysis, teamwork, organization, and problem-solving; I have also participated in training such as the UN Global Surgery course.

I bring a collaborative ethos, a focus on positive impact in clinical and public-health settings, and eagerness to contribute to a dynamic team that values learning, innovation, and patient-centered care.
