What I'm looking for

I seek a role in academic or clinical health information management where I can teach, conduct research, mentor students, and improve data-driven patient care.

I am a quality-oriented Health Information Management professional and college lecturer with experience across teaching hospitals, colleges of health, and research projects. I have worked as Head of Department delivering lectures, developing course materials, and mentoring students while driving course evaluation and academic events.

My clinical experience includes health records management, clinical coding using WHO ICD, data collection for research, and providing patient-centred support during service delivery at a teaching hospital. I also supported a mass drug administration research activity as a Research Assistant with the Malaria Consortium.

I bring strong research, writing, ICT, counselling and analytical skills, professional memberships (HRORBN, AHRIMPN), and a commitment to continuous professional development to nurture well-informed, innovative healthcare professionals.
