What I'm looking for

I seek clinical nursing roles that leverage my surgical, emergency, cardiology, and sleep-medicine experience, offer patient-centered care, telemedicine integration, and opportunities to mentor and lead.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 13 years of clinical experience across surgical, emergency, cardiology, and home-care settings, skilled in advanced assessment, resuscitation, and multidisciplinary coordination. I have specialized experience in sleep medicine documentation and OSA patient management, including PAP adherence monitoring and patient education.

I combine hands-on clinical care with remote administrative and telemedicine workflows, maintaining accurate EMR documentation and coordinating referrals, DME requests, and follow-up care. I hold active registration with the Nursing Council of Kenya and current certifications in BLS, ACLS, and ATLS, and I seek roles where I can improve patient outcomes and mentor junior staff.
