What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a clinical nutrition role where I can provide evidence-based nutrition therapy for mothers and children, strengthen IYCF practice, and support high-acuity care while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams.

I am a dedicated, clinically trained Nutritionist with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from the University for Development Studies. My competence was built through an intensive, year-long clinical rotation at the Tamale Teaching Hospital, with deep specialization in maternal, neonatal, and pediatric dietetics.

I have hands-on expertise treating severe acute malnutrition, managing clinical nutrition across high-acuity wards (NICU, Labor, Children’s Emergency), and delivering evidence-based nutritional education to mothers and caregivers. Through daily multidisciplinary ward rounds and structured caregiver counseling, I supported integrated care plans, applied national guidelines using F-75, F-100, and RUTF, and strengthened maternal outcomes through antenatal nutrition and IYCF-focused counseling.
