What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining clinical practice and public health communication—using digital strategies to improve community health, equity, and immunization outcomes.

I am a compassionate Medical Officer and MSc International Public Health candidate with over four years of clinical and global health experience, focused on pediatrics, preventive care, and emergency response. I blend clinical practice with health communication and digital content creation to translate complex medical concepts into accessible guidance for diverse communities.

I have led patient education programs and social media campaigns that educated over 1,000 families, improved immunization uptake, and increased parental engagement online. I am passionate about leveraging digital health, communication strategies, and systems strengthening to advance equity, pandemic preparedness, and community health outcomes.
