What I'm looking for

I'm seeking postgraduate training in Clinical Nutrition to build advanced clinical, research and leadership skills for improving patient care, nutrition service delivery and evidence-based public health policy.

I'm coordinating district nutrition and HIV/AIDS programmes for the Malawi Civil Service, supporting implementation that improves health and nutrition outcomes at district level.

I lead programme planning, monitoring, evaluation, reporting, budgeting and performance reviews, while strengthening community-based nutrition interventions and health promotion. I also support evidence-based decision-making through data collection, analysis and use.

Through acting assignments as Principal Nutrition and HIV/AIDS Officer, Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, and Chief Planning Officer, I've provided strategic oversight, supervised implementation, strengthened data quality, and coordinated district development planning.

I'm committed to advancing nutrition, food security and public health through collaborative partnerships, effective programme management and evidence-based policy development for vulnerable populations.
