@tsiontesfaye1
Experienced project coordinator and nurse specializing in eye health and rehabilitation.
EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced healthcare professional and project coordinator with a clinical nursing background and advanced degrees in management, project management, and counselling psychology. I have led multi-hospital eye health programs, coordinated outreach campaigns, and supported surgical teams while maintaining rigorous monitoring, reporting, and documentation practices.
My work emphasizes cross-departmental collaboration, capacity building, and logistics management — from drafting proposals, TORs and MOUs to coordinating international procurement and training events. I have hands-on experience with data collection and analysis for clinical research, operating gait laboratory systems, and producing structured monthly and quarterly reports that illustrate program impact.
I bring strong organizational, communication, and supervisory skills, with demonstrated ability to manage budgets, run large-scale screening programs, and support multidisciplinary teams in resource-constrained environments. I am committed to improving pediatric eye care and rehabilitative services through evidence-based program management and stakeholder engagement.
