What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my clinical product training, evidence-based communication, product-launch, and manufacturing-project experience in a healthcare or pharmaceutical role with meaningful stakeholder engagement and growth opportunities.

I'm currently a Clinical Product Advisor and Product Specialist at Naturefirm Group, where I deliver product training, retrieve clinical evidence, and communicate technical information to doctors and pharmacists.

I've supported successful launches of Megaheal, Extramag, and Biguamine, growing sales by explaining competitive differentiation and clinical value. I also represent the company at medical conferences and lead product demonstrations for healthcare professionals.

As Project Lead, I'm helping establish Naturefirm Group's nutraceutical manufacturing facility from concept through operational readiness, including facility design, regulatory documentation, equipment selection, and process validation.

Earlier, I led seed certification, quality management, plant propagation, and quarantine work for the Ministry of Agro-Industry and Food Security. My background includes an M.Sc. in Biomedical Genetics and research in stem cells conducted in collaboration with the University of Bristol.
