What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead clinical programs, improve patient outcomes, and scale remote-enabled healthcare services with strong data-driven quality improvement.

I am a driven Clinical Officer and healthcare manager with over 10 years' experience across clinical medicine, surgery, community health, and program management in public and private settings.

I have led multidisciplinary teams and outreach programs, implemented continuous quality improvement projects, and optimized clinical systems to improve HIV treatment adherence, reduce patient wait times, and increase key population engagement.

My clinical work spans HIV/AIDS management, TB treatment and prevention, reproductive health, SGBV services, preventive health and emergency care, combined with strengths in data management, electronic health records and telemedicine.

I hold a BSc in Health System Management and multiple global health certifications; I seek to apply my clinical and managerial expertise to high-impact, remote-enabled healthcare programs that advance patient outcomes.
