Profile Summary

Medical Laboratory Officer • CQI & Patient Safety Coordinator • Diagnostics & Occupational-Health Consultant I am a Medical Laboratory Officer with fifteen years of progressive laboratory practice and quality systems leadership in Kenya. My core strength is translating frontline diagnostic experience into ISO-aligned systems, high-value technical writing, and practical occupational health solutions for resource-constrained settings. I routinely deliver: ISO 15189–aligned SOP development for routine and occupational testing. Advanced diagnostic interpretation - Research in creatinine/eGFR and urine microscopy in high-exertion workers, accounting for muscle mass, hydration, and workload variability. Laboratory Quality Management systems: CQI, 5S, internal audits, IQC/EQA, and accreditation readiness. Occupational screening program design for pre-employment and annual panels, with ethical reporting and trend surveillance. I balance operational discipline (instrument maintenance, LIMS use, IQC/EQA) with clinician-focused interpretation and reporting. My approach prioritizes patient safety, clarity, and cost-effective implementation. Selected Achievements & Roles Medical Laboratory Manager & Facility CQI/QIT & QMS Coordinator — Browns Plantation (2017–Present): led laboratory operations, partner coordination (PEPFAR, KEMRI, MOH), staff mentorship and data-driven disease surveillance. Biochemistry Lead Technologist & Deputy Quality Officer — AIC Kijabe Mission Hospital: contributed to ISO 15189 accreditation activities and method validation. Led 5S-CQI-TQM initiatives, internal audits, competency assessments, and continuous quality improvement programs. Previous & Ongoing Applied Projects Occupational renal marker evaluation — Developed protocols assessing creatinine and eGFR variability in manual workers; designed interpretive algorithms and reporting templates to reduce false positives. SOP & QMS package development — Authored ISO-aligned SOPs for urinalysis, urine microscopy, creatinine/eGFR interpretation, and occupational screening panels tailored to resource-limited laboratories. Quality improvement & accreditation readiness — Led internal audit cycles, IQC/EQA implementation (HUQAS/QASI), and ISO 15189 preparation support. Surveillance & data analysis — Produced laboratory trend analyses supporting disease surveillance and occupational health decision-making. Education, Certifications & Professional Development Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Medical Laboratory Sciences, Mount Kenya University (2022). Diploma — Medical Laboratory Sciences, KMTC (2011). Advanced training in ISO 15189 implementation (KENAS), Internal Auditing, GCLP, WHO IPC, Healthcare Quality Management (World Bank), Method Validation & Measurement Uncertainty (HUQAS), Biosafety & Biosecurity, TB diagnostics, and AMR (LSHTM). Core Technical Skills Medical Writing • Clinical Laboratory Science • Diagnostic Interpretation • Urinalysis & Microscopy • Creatinine/eGFR Analysis • SOP Development • ISO 15189 QMS • Internal Audits • IQC/EQA • LIMS (Sanitas/CARE) • Occupational Health Screening • Method Validation • Data Analysis Services I Offer on Kolabtree ISO-ready SOP development — Complete procedural and documentation packages. Diagnostic interpretation frameworks — Evidence-based tests interpretation algorithms. QMS & accreditation support — Gap analysis, corrective action plans, and audit preparation. Occupational screening program design — Panel structuring, reporting workflows, and surveillance dashboards. Medical and technical writing — Literature reviews, clinical briefs, and technical reports. Sample Project “Develop ISO-aligned SOP pack for Urine Microscopy & Reporting” “Create eGFR/creatinine interpretive algorithm for manual-worker populations” “ISO 15189 internal audit and corrective action framework” “Design occupational screening and reporting workflow” Availability & Engagement Model Engagements include short-term consultancy, fixed-scope SOP development projects, and long-term Quality Management Systems or occupational health advisory retainers. Services are delivered remotely with structured reporting, with on-site engagements arranged where strategically required. Why Hire Me? I operate at the intersection of laboratory practice and quality systems strategy — delivering audit-ready documentation, clinically sound interpretation frameworks, and scalable diagnostic solutions for high-volume environments.
