What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining mental health support and administrative responsibility within humanitarian or healthcare settings that offer impact-driven teamwork, growth, and field deployment opportunities.

I am a dedicated Psychology and Mental Health Professional with an MSc in Psychological Approaches to Health and a BSc (Dual Honours) in Psychology with Criminology. I combine frontline psychosocial counselling experience with proven administrative and payroll management skills for healthcare staffing operations.

My background includes volunteer counselling for vulnerable children, research support for UNICEF using SPSS, and hands-on healthcare assistance in UK settings. I have administered end-to-end payroll remotely using SAGE50 and Zoho, ensuring compliance with UK payroll legislation and HMRC requirements.

I am committed to humanitarian service and cross-cultural teamwork, able to deploy across Uganda and the African continent. I deliver empathetic client care, reliable administrative operations, and evidence-based reporting to support programmatic decision-making.
