Message

At HEALTHY LEARNERS, I provide executive and administrative support to the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Leadership Team. I coordinate diaries, travel and meetings, and support official visits involving Board members, Government officials, donors and strategic partners.

I coordinate administrative operations across 46 offices throughout Zambia. My work includes developing administrative policies and Standard Operating Procedures, monitoring budgets, and administering contracts and office leases.

Earlier at HEALTHY LEARNERS, I coordinated HR and office administration, and as an Administration Officer I managed executive calendars and procurement support. At AFYA MZURI, I prepared financial reports and bank reconciliations for donor-funded programmes; at BARCLAYS BANK ZAMBIA PLC, I supported corporate events and marketing campaigns.
