About

I am a passionate and results-driven healthcare professional with over 20 years of experience in the fields of ophthalmology, optometry, health systems, and corporate communications. My career has been defined by a strong commitment to improving eye care access and patient outcomes, particularly in underserved communities, while leveraging digital platforms to enhance outreach, education, and organizational visibility.

My journey began in clinical eye care, where I honed my skills in ophthalmic and optical services—ranging from patient assessment and vision testing to dispensing spectacles and assisting in cataract surgery programs. This clinical foundation has been invaluable in informing my approach to health programming, community engagement, and strategic planning. I have successfully led mobile clinics and community outreach initiatives, bridging the gap between rural populations and essential eye care services.

Over the years, my role evolved to include leadership in healthcare operations and administrative management. I have extensive experience in coordinating multidisciplinary teams, managing clinic workflows, and ensuring compliance with healthcare standards and policies. My work in these areas has enhanced efficiency, patient satisfaction, and staff performance.

In addition to my healthcare background, I bring strong capabilities in digital communication and content development. I have served as the lead content creator and strategist for organizational websites and social media platforms, where I have increased engagement and awareness for health campaigns, donor initiatives, and public health education. My communication skills extend to proposal writing, medical reporting, and donor correspondence—ensuring clarity, professionalism, and impact in every message.

I am also adept at planning and executing strategic programs, including health promotion seminars, fundraising campaigns, and collaborative partnerships with NGOs and corporate sponsors. Whether I am designing a mobile vision clinic schedule, drafting a sponsorship proposal, or curating patient education materials, I work with purpose, creativity, and attention to detail.

I am now actively seeking remote opportunities in healthcare administration, health communications, or program coordination—where I can contribute my cross-functional experience, passion for health equity, and strength in digital storytelling to impactful organizations.
