Michelle Mumba Darji

Chingola,

Summary

I am a passionate and hard-working law school graduate, and a social-cultural and humanitarian activist with a desire to help the less-privileged and empower the overshadowed within various communities in my country Zambia, Africa and the world at large, particularly projects that will utilize my skills and knowledge of human rights and other branches of Law and health and social care training attained thus far. Having done various healthcare outreach programs, I developed a great interest in health and social care and took on the challenge of undergoing training courses in health care to advance my knowledge and skills. I am self-driven and have 7 years of work experience in different fields, highly skilled at multitasking and prioritizing tasks to complete duties on time and determine appropriate courses of action and an adept in maintaining confidential records and client information. I am goal-oriented and experienced in providing administrative support. I have demonstrated my ability to work well with others as well as establishing good relations with clients.
