What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with clinical training across multiple Zambia hospitals and clinics, including Solwezi General Hospital, Ndola Teaching Hospital, and Arthur Davison Children’s Hospital. I completed a Diploma in Registered Nursing and hold a Nursing License in Zambia.
My practice emphasizes patient monitoring, wound care, basic clinical procedures, infection control, and documentation. I have hands-on experience in triage, outpatient support, and child health assessments gained during clinical placements.
I am also certified in Occupational Health & Safety and apply workplace safety and compliance principles to healthcare settings. I combine clinical skills with community health education, outreach, and data collection to support preventive care and empowerment programs.
Beyond clinical work, I founded and run an e-commerce and personal shopping business, managing sourcing, customer communication, inventory, deliveries, and social media marketing on TikTok, Instagram, and WhatsApp. I am fluent in English and Bemba, and conversant in Kaonde and Nyanja.
