What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical or retail pharmacy role where I can apply dispensing, inventory and cold-chain expertise, contribute to patient counseling, and support process improvements in a collaborative team.

I am a pharmacy-trained professional with hands-on experience across hospital, clinic, and pharmaceutical settings, focused on safe dispensing and inventory accuracy.

I trained at Kenya Medical Training College and completed short courses in Leadership, Management and Governance for Health Systems Strengthening and Community Mental Health for Community Health Personnel.

My work history includes dispensing, prescription scrutiny, inventory control, cold-chain management for fertility drugs, packaging and basic microbiology and analytical operations, with responsibilities from hospital attachments to clinic leadership tasks.

I prioritize patient counseling, medication safety, and process improvements such as audit data collection on pharmacy turnaround times to enhance service delivery.
