What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead mental health programs, combine clinical practice with advocacy, drive data-informed impact, and build cross-sector partnerships for community wellbeing.

I am an outcomes-oriented counselling psychology professional with experience designing and leading mental health programs, public advocacy campaigns, and therapeutic interventions across clinical and community settings.

I founded and direct BeyondtheMind Wellness, where I developed large-scale campaigns, digital content strategies, and community outreach initiatives that improved awareness, resilience, and stakeholder engagement.

My clinical background includes delivering psychosocial recovery plans, interdisciplinary case coordination, crisis intervention, and rigorous documentation in rehabilitation and healthcare settings.

I bring strengths in strategic program leadership, data-driven evaluation, partnership-building, and multilingual communication (English and Swahili) to drive measurable health outcomes and sustainable community wellbeing.
