At Work

At Scenario X, I excelled as a Content Creator, producing engaging content and as a Customer Identifier, enhancing marketing strategies through insightful analysis.

At B360, I was an effective Intern-Representative, fostering communication between interns and senior staff and a skilled Project Researcher, providing critical data and recommendations for project planning.

Overall, my experiences demonstrate a strong work ethic and versatility, highlighting my abilities in content creation, customer analysis, communication and research.

My Mentor, Coach and Colleagues

Rahel's mentorship has been invaluable, providing insightful guidance and fostering confidence. Her support has significantly shaped my professional growth. Reto's coaching has been transformative, helping me set and achieve ambitious goals. His motivational approach and expertise have been crucial to my development. Sharing the office space with my colleagues has fostered creativity, innovation and a supportive environment, leading to remarkable achievements and lasting professional relationships.

These mentors and colleagues have significantly contributed to my journey, offering guidance, support and collaboration essential for my growth and success.

Highlights and Lowlights

My highlight would be mastering various tools for content creation, customer identification and project research. I gained broad industry insights from working at Scenario X and B360 and I developed photography skills, enhancing my content creation abilities.

A possible lowlight would be balancing multiple roles simultaneously which sometimes led to stress and fatigue, but also strengthened your time management and multitasking skills.

These experiences highlight my adaptability, continuous learning and resilience in facing challenges.

My Future Plans

I plan to expand my knowledge of the business environment through further studies and work experience. I would want to study for a master's degree in either risk management or economics. Advanced education will provide me with career knowledge and skills. I intend to have my business consultancy firm as my long-term goal. I will then be able to use my expertise to assist other businesses to thrive.

Personal Message

I am profoundly grateful to my mentors for their guidance, Scenario X and B360 for the opportunities, my colleagues for their collaboration, the University of Lusaka for the exceptional education, and the sponsors for their support. Each of you has played a significant role in my journey, and your encouragement has been invaluable. Thank you all for your continuous support and belief in my potential.
