I am a dedicated Public Health professional with a Master in Public Health focused on Occupational Health and Safety and a BSc (Hons) in Natural Resources Management. I bring hands-on experience in environmental health, workplace safety, community health education, and public health research across Zimbabwe and India.

My practical experience includes conducting risk assessments, developing safety protocols, delivering training, managing waste and pollution initiatives, and supporting mental health and wellbeing programs. I have completed internships in community health and mental health settings, and contributed to published research on environmental and public health topics.

I am passionate about improving workplace safety, promoting environmental sustainability, and driving community health interventions. I work well independently and in teams, use SPSS for data analysis, and seek roles where I can apply my technical, communication, and program development skills to deliver measurable public health impact.
