About
I am an experienced Lecturer in Medical Laboratory Sciences with a PhD in Medical laboratory science (Clinical Chemistry) and over a decade of combined experience in clinical laboratory practice, university-level teaching, academic leadership, and research. My career began in the public health sector, where I worked for more than ten years in clinical diagnostic laboratories. This experience laid a strong foundation in laboratory operations, quality assurance, specimen management, and patient-centered diagnostics, all of which continue to inform my academic teaching and research supervision.
Following my clinical work, I transitioned into academia, driven by a passion to train the next generation of healthcare professionals. I currently serve as a Lecturer at Maseno University, where I teach undergraduate courses, supervise research, coordinate modules, and participate in curriculum development. I have taught across a range of core topics including clinical chemistry, laboratory management, molecular diagnostics, and research methods. I have also been involved in setting and moderating examinations, using both face-to-face and virtual learning tools to enhance student engagement and academic outcomes.
My academic journey has been supported by prestigious scholarships, including the Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarship, which enabled me to complete two master’s degrees—one in the UK and another in Ghana—in specialized areas of laboratory science. These experiences enriched my global perspective, research skills, and understanding of cross-cultural education systems.
Beyond teaching, I have made notable contributions to research. My PhD research focused on the genetic polymorphism of ion channel transient receptor potential melastatin and its association with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a study that combines molecular biology, epidemiology, and public health. I have presented my work at conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. I also contribute to ethics and research governance as a member and former secretary of a hospital-based Ethics Review Committee, where I review protocols, guide researchers, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
My volunteer activities reflect my commitment to community and service. I have participated in church-led outreach programmes that support vulnerable groups, including organizing mentorship for youth, providing care packages for schools for the blind, and visiting prisoners. I have also volunteered as a part-time lecturer at Kenya Medical Training College, helping bridge teaching gaps in remote campuses.
In terms of skills, I possess strong communication, academic writing, and leadership abilities. I am well-versed in digital tools for learning, including online assessment systems, virtual classrooms, and data analysis software. I also bring a collaborative spirit, having led teams in curriculum reviews, academic events, and welfare initiative
