What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in mental health, focusing on patient advocacy and community support.

I am a dedicated Global Mental Health Advocate with a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology and an MBA Diploma from Sinapis Entrepreneur Academy. My journey in mental health began at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, where I shadowed psychologists and psychiatrists, gaining hands-on experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and patient advocacy. I have worked with diverse populations facing mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, advocating for their safety and inclusion.

In my role as a Patient Service Coordinator at Aga Khan University Hospital, I was responsible for enhancing the patient experience for over 1800 patients monthly. I developed patient management workflows and supported healthcare professionals in scheduling and addressing patient concerns. My administrative skills were further honed as an Executive Personal Assistant at Global Rights Alert, where I managed travel arrangements and coordinated international meetings, ensuring effective communication between stakeholders.
