What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining research and data analysis with clinical or commercial impact, collaborative culture, growth opportunities, and clear pathways to apply technical and communication skills.

I am a motivated and versatile professional with experience spanning biomedical forensic research, MedTech sales support, administration, IT support, and digital marketing.

At Medtronic Africa I supported sales and marketing through data-driven insights, account management, training clinicians on device use, and operational coordination across government and commercial sectors.

During my honours research at the University of Cape Town I executed retrospective statistical analyses on traumatic brain injury data, coded and cleaned complex clinical records, and translated findings into detailed stakeholder reports to inform public-health recommendations.

I hold certifications in Data Analysis, R programming, ServiceNow and GCP, and I combine strong scientific writing, technical lab skills, and communication to deliver accurate analyses and effective cross-functional collaboration.
