What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated nursing professional with over three decades of experience in various healthcare settings.

Since then, I have worked in diverse roles, including Chief Nurse Supervisor during the Ebola crisis in Liberia and as a school nurse at Kilimani Junior Academy, where I provided critical care and counseling to students.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to improving patient outcomes through effective communication, organization, and leadership. I have managed outpatient services, conducted well-baby clinics, and provided psychological support to patients in challenging situations.
