I am a qualified and experienced Public Health Specialist and Nutritionist with more than 15 years of experience supporting the implementation of several health and nutrition programs.I have had the privilege of working for large organizations at senior level such as the National Food and Nutrition Commission, Nestle Nutrition, Konkola Copper Mines, Zambia Emory HIV Research Project and Zambia Aids Related Tuberculosis Project.I am currently employed as the National Consultant - Nutrition Specialist at Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.I have worked on increasing important assignments within organizations and these experiences have given me an opportunity to develop a deep understanding of how to make profitable contributions within organizations.Besides employment, in 2021, I decided to establish a Health, Nutrition and Counselling firm to basically engage in the provision of nutrition, health and counselling advisory services in Zambia.My desire to see people lead healthier lives is top of my agenda and I do this with unbelievable passion.Overtime, in the last 2+ years, I have helped over 100 individuals collectively and a good number of organizations in educating, sensitizing and assisting them adopt healthy lifestyles thereby improving the quality of their lives.I have also been privileged to share my passion and knowledge through the Media on various Radio and Online media platforms as I firmly believe that prevention is better than cure and doing better starts with knowing better. We need more and more people today that will make a deliberate approach to not only ensure they adopt a healthy lifestyle but equally seek professional help when undergoing life’s challenges and I am here to help individuals and communities do just that.I am simply a person that desires to see other people live better, healthier and more productive lives.
