My meticulous attention to detail and strong commitment to patient care ensure that I provide the highest level of service in every interaction.

Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse roles, including my current position at Sylkay Pharmacy, where I accurately prepare and dispense medications while providing essential information to customers. My previous experience at Lufwanyama General Hospital allowed me to build capacity in healthcare workers regarding HIV/TB treatment, emphasizing my ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams to optimize patient outcomes.
