ABOUT

The experience behind the profile.

I am a Healthcare IT consultant based in Richmond, Texas, with experience supporting Epic and Cerner implementations in the United States and Canada. I help clinical and non-clinical users navigate documentation, patient access, scheduling, and patient movement workflows during go-live.

My earlier work with EGPAF, Catholic Relief Services, Digital Opportunity Trust, Jhpiego, and the Tanzania Midwives Association spans monitoring and evaluation, data management, reporting, and staff training. At Jhpiego, I developed CommCare applications and supported integration with DHIS2.

I bring that operational perspective to applications including UMOJA AFYA EHR, Sirenexa EMS, and iMEAL. I am interested in Healthcare IT consulting, application support, business analysis, and project opportunities, including junior Epic Prelude/Cadence analyst roles with structured training. I work in English and Swahili.
