What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my data management skills in a supportive and growth-oriented environment.

I am a passionate health information officer with a commitment to improving healthcare delivery through effective data management and mentoring. My recent experience at the Ministry of Health and Social Services has equipped me with the skills to work with various health information systems, ensuring accurate data collection and reporting. I thrive in environments where I can contribute to community health initiatives, particularly in educating young girls about health and safety.

In my role as a mentor for the DREAMS Project, I have successfully guided young girls in understanding HIV/AIDS prevention and personal safety. My leadership experience as a vice president of the Debate Club has honed my communication and presentation skills, allowing me to engage effectively with diverse audiences. I am currently expanding my expertise as a Laboratory Technician at the Namibia University of Science and Technology, where I assist with program administration and facilitate practical sessions for students.
