What I'm looking for

I seek clinical or research roles that combine patient care and health research in collaborative, resource-conscious teams where I can grow leadership and impact community health.

I am a self-driven and diligent medical doctor with a solid clinical foundation from Kenyatta University and hands-on experience managing emergencies, inpatient care, and multidisciplinary teams during my internship and clinical practice. I currently work as a Clinical Research Doctor conducting trials on tropical and emerging diseases, leading participant recruitment, safety monitoring, and contributing to protocol development and manuscripts.

I combine strong bedside manner, ethical research conduct, and community engagement—participating in outreach programs and public health education—to maximize patient outcomes and satisfaction. I hold certifications in GCP, HSP, ACLS, and BLS and maintain active KMPDC registration through 2026.
