Licky Malongwa
@lickymalongwa
Pharmacy Technician and Administration Assistant with hands-on dispensing, inventory, and patient support experience in Botswana.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Pharmacy Technology graduate from Boitekanelo College and I’ve built strong practical experience through my diploma-linked pharmacy attachments and part-time engagements. Alongside my pharmacy development, I’ve worked for years in administration—currently as an Administration Assistant at Genesis Orthodontics (Jan 2016–Present).
In my administration role, I administratively support management, clients, and visitors with a “friendly personality with good customer care skills.” I register and make appointments, send reminders, update patient accounts in the system, review accounts and follow up on payments, and prepare and submit medical aid claims, while also taking calls and resolving client queries.
My pharmacy experience includes pharmacy technician duties and training at facilities such as Medpark Pharmacy, Gaborone Phase 2 clinic, Princes Marina Hospital, and Zeta Pharmacy (trainee period). I’ve supported prescription fulfilment and medication handling, dispensing and preparation (filling, packing, and labeling), inventory management (ordering, receiving, stocking, rotating stock), processing insurance claims, and preparing compounded medications using sterile and non-sterile processes.
I work with care and discipline—following compliance and safety requirements, including infection-control measures and legal regulations for controlled substances. I’m motivated, hard working, and committed to meeting deadlines, and I want to continue growing by applying both my patient-centered mindset and my pharmacy operations skills in a professional team.
