What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to impact community health positively, focusing on patient advocacy and collaboration.

I am a dedicated physician with over six years of comprehensive experience in the medical field, specializing in family medical services, pediatrics, and emergency care. My journey began with a Doctor of Medicine degree from Orotta School of Medicine and Dental Medicine, where I developed a profound understanding of patient care and medical practices. I have actively contributed to the medical community by editing the annual medical journal for the Eritrean Medical Association, showcasing my commitment to advancing medical knowledge.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including General Practitioner and Community Navigator, where I honed my skills in patient assessment, treatment planning, and community engagement. My experience working with refugees in Nairobi has equipped me with unique insights into their challenges, allowing me to provide tailored support and advocacy. I am passionate about improving healthcare access and outcomes for underserved populations, and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can leverage my multilingual abilities and strong communication skills.
