MSc in Global Healthcare Leadership, 2022
I’m a clinician by profession but I left clinical practice around 10 years ago. In that time I’ve worked in pharma, got a degree in fashion and an MBA, and I am now working in the on the administrative side of healthcare for a private hospital group. I’m interested in application of design thinking to how we think about the development and design of healthcare systems. Currently enrolled in the inaugural MSc in Global Healthcare Leadership class and looking forward to connecting. I’m based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and consider myself a novice hiker, a lover of jazz and decently knowledgeable on good South African wines.
