I've spent over a decade working as a registered psychiatric nurse, much of it in correctional settings supporting people living with mental health conditions and other vulnerabilities.
That experience changed how I think about health communication. I've seen how much the right words can matter when someone is struggling, looking for answers, or trying to make sense of what they're going through.
Words carry weight. They can calm or wound, connect or isolate, build trust or break it.Online, I see the same thing play out. Health information can be accurate and still leave people confused, overwhelmed, or feeling like no one is speaking to them.
That's the kind of gap I want my work to close.
I write across mental health, chronic conditions, treatment, and broader health topics. Whatever the subject, I want readers to come away with a clearer understanding of their health, without feeling talked down to or lost in medical jargon.
When I'm not writing, you'll probably find me sipping chai, spending time by the ocean, making art, or laughing with my family along Kenya's coastline 🌊
At the heart of it all, my mission is simple:
When someone lands on something I've written, I want them to feel a little less lost and a little more informed.
