What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can support patients and communities through counselling, advocacy, care coordination, and health education while contributing to practical programs that improve wellbeing.

I've supported patients and families at Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital through psychosocial counselling, HIV testing, adherence support, and care linkage. I advocate for patients facing financial barriers and helped reintegrate and repatriate abandoned patients by reconnecting them with families.

I've also led community initiatives through Lukenya Pillars of Transformation, including water-filter distribution, sanitation education, fundraising, clean-ups, and support for girls at a rescue center. My background combines social work, crisis intervention, patient advocacy, communication, and community mobilization.
