I am a highly motivated and a result-driven individual with almost 6 years industry experience as a Laboratory Chemist and Compliance Officer. I work for the Department of Papua New Guinea Customs Service, based in the capital city of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Applied Chemistry from Papua New Guinea University of Technology (PNG Unitech). I also have few months of experience working in the chemical laboratory before joining Papua New Guinea Customs as a Compliance Officer.

I value continuous learning, hence, I have recently completed a one year Executive Diploma of Leadership, Governance and Management Program at Somare Institute of Leadership & Governance (formerly PILAG). I am also currently doing a Diploma in Law (Prosecutions) at the University of Papua New Guinea.

I am skilled in quality control & assurance, document examination, and regulatory and compliance work. I am a very dedicated employee with good communications skills.
