Even before my undergraduate years, I knew my career path lies in leadership as I intended to be in a position to influence healthcare reforms aimed at the successful delivery of high-quality, effective, and safe care at all levels of the healthcare system to actualize the objectives of the organization I work in.

           I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration. I have always wanted to work in a healthcare setting, especially in a management role where my input would be in the best interest of the patients and healthcare practitioners in general. I am also fascinated by the fact that I will have the flexibility to be on the forefront to cater to the patients directly or in the office applying my leadership skills.
