I am a South African female by birth with a valid ID, ID number 8409011130080. I received my nursing training in Swaziland and have 13 years working experience in government and non government organizations. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing (Community Health and Midwifery Science) obtained from the University of Swaziland in August 2008. I am currently pursuing Masters in Public Health and in the final stages of acquiring my qualification.

I believe to work to my utmost abilities to meet organisational goals and perform all duties and responsibilities assigned to me. I am a self motivated hard working individual who can work under pressure and independently. I have good verbal and written communication skills demonstrated in the quality work I do and timely reports as needed. I have vast nursing experience from basic community home based care, primary health care, in patient care, maternity to national coordination of HIV testing services as I have been involved in formulation of HTS guidelines in the kingdom of Swaziland.

My most recent position was Recency Testing Project Coordinator where I supervised and led the team conducting the research project. As a success from the position I held I developed tools, provided trainings and monitoring implementation through mentorship and supportive supervision in the health care facilities enrolled in the research surveillance. The concept of recency testing program was then adapted and incorporated in the Swaziland HIV Testing guidelines in the kingdom of Swaziland.

I have excellent management and leadership skills as I have been working as a Manager in various positions I have worked in my experience. I understand team dynamics and can handle all kinds of conflicts in a team whilst providing leadership, guidance and refresher trainings when need be. I am computer literate (Ms office including word, excel, powerpoint, internet/email/outlook) with certificates in Good Clinical Practice and ART initiation and management of HIV ( NIMART). I am a fast learner who can adapt easily to change and willing to relocate as per my work station.
