MalawiWhat I'm looking for
I currently work as an Assistant Human Resource Management Officer at the Malawi College of Fisheries, assisting the principal with daily administrative tasks and supervising junior staff.
My qualifications blend business and HR: I’m pursuing a Degree in Business Administration (Pending) while completing multiple Diplomas in Human Resource Management, strengthening my capability in human resource planning, employee engagement, performance management, and employee relations.
Earlier, I served as a Teacher at the Ministry of Education Science and Technology for May 2014 to December 2022, and I also held leadership responsibilities such as Head of Senior Section and Zonal KEY Teacher—coaching others, managing teams, and supporting effective learning environments.
I bring strong decision-making, communication, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills, and I’m committed to organized, practical HR support that improves how people work together.
