What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to enhance community health through innovative public health strategies and collaboration.

I am a passionate Environmental Health Officer with extensive experience in public health and safety. Currently, I serve as the Lead Environmental Health Officer at the Ministry of Health, where I supervise my department and oversee critical functions such as infection prevention, food safety, and waste management. My commitment to ensuring community health and safety drives my work, and I take pride in training staff and conducting thorough inspections to maintain high standards.

Throughout my career, I have held various positions within the Ministry of Health, where I have honed my skills in disease surveillance, environmental health inspections, and staff training. My educational background, including a BSc in Environmental Health from Lusaka Apex Medical University, complements my hands-on experience in the field. I am dedicated to continuous learning and adapting to new challenges, which I believe is essential in the ever-evolving landscape of public health.
