What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a digital health programme where I can own end-to-end delivery, strengthen stakeholder alignment, manage budgets and risks, and use M&E insights to demonstrate impact—especially across mHealth and eCHIS implementations.

I’m a project manager with 8+ years of progressive experience leading funded digital health programmes across East and Southern Africa. I deliver end-to-end projects—planning and stakeholder engagement through budget oversight, risk management, and M&E—grounded in data-driven decision-making.

In my recent role as Senior Project Officer at Medic, I owned key USAID-funded deliverables, including decentralisation of user management to the county level and national eCHIS version 3 enhancements. I also support MoH capacity building, champion adoption of eCHIS user management tools, and ensure smooth post-deployment transition from paper-based to digital reporting systems, while maintaining continuity through proactive risk identification and mitigation.
