I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Clinical Research at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). I am a medical doctor employed by the Zambia AIDS-Related TB (ZAMBART) project. Before joining the ZAMBART project, I worked for the Zambian Ministry of Health as a District Director of Health. My responsibilities included managing patients, planning and coordinating health activities for a District. I hold a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree (MBChB) from the University of Zambia; and a Master of Public Health (MPH) with a focus in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, from the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

(2) research on the use of screening tools to determine the prevalence of common mental disorders among TB and HIV-positive patients who access treatment in Zambia's primary health care facilities.
