What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical role in mental health that values evidence-based care, professional mentoring, multidisciplinary teamwork, and opportunities to apply legal/compliance expertise to improve patient services.

I am a Registered Nurse in Mental Health and Psychiatry with three years of clinical experience across high- and medium-acuity care settings, complemented by a Bachelor of Laws (LLB). I deliver thorough patient assessment, medication administration, crisis intervention, and health education while maintaining rigorous documentation and infection control.

My clinical placements included service at national and county referral hospitals where I supported admissions, discharge planning, electroconvulsive therapy preparation, group therapy facilitation, and supervised care for large patient cohorts. I have experience mentoring junior nursing students and conducting community mental health outreach that improved continuity of care.

Alongside nursing, I applied legal skills as an in-house legal officer researching law updates, drafting contracts and policies, supporting litigation, and advising on compliance and risk—strengthening governance and operational confidence in healthcare and research environments.
