What I'm looking for

I seek field-forward roles in humanitarian or healthcare settings where I can lead supply chain improvements, train teams, support ERP integrations, and ensure reliable, compliant pharmaceutical services.

I am a qualified pharmacist with over five years of progressive experience in medical stock management, supply chain operations, and pharmaceutical services across humanitarian and healthcare settings. I have hands-on experience supervising pharmaceutical warehousing, cold chain management, controlled substances, and supporting ERP deployments.

I have served with Médecins Sans Frontières and multiple Kenyan health facilities, managing full-cycle supply chains, compounding chemotherapy, delivering pharmacovigilance, and training multidisciplinary teams both onsite and remotely. I have implemented stock-alert systems and maintained near-zero stock-outs while ensuring regulatory compliance.

I bring practical ERP familiarity (Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O), strong IT-supported medication tracking experience, multilingual communication skills, and high field availability. I am committed to improving pharmaceutical services and supporting projects like the AKIBA deployment with MSF.
