What I'm looking for

I seek clinical roles where I can improve patient outcomes and systems — high-impact teams, resource optimization, teaching, research, and healthcare innovation.

I am a medical doctor with hands-on experience across emergency medicine, anaesthesia and paediatrics, trained at Groote Schuur Hospital and the University of the Witwatersrand. I have worked in resource-limited rural and urban district hospitals delivering patient care, running departments independently, and improving hospital processes under high-pressure conditions.

I co-founded and led a university healthcare innovation society, sourced critical PPE during COVID, and have led clinical research presented at global conferences and currently under publication. I bring analytical problem-solving, leadership, and a commitment to optimizing healthcare delivery through practical innovation and strong teamwork.
