    I am the proud owner and founder of Odonata, a venture built from dedication, passion, and a deep desire to create a meaningful and lasting legacy.

    Inspired by my great-grandmother, I’ve always been driven by a need to make people feel safe, cared for, and loved. This calling led me to become a nurse, and it is this same purpose that has given life to Odonata.

    Growing up and raising my family in Zambia has made me deeply aware of the importance of empowering people with the knowledge of first aid. It is my mission to share these life-saving skills with as many as possible, ensuring our communities can thrive in safety.

    Life, I believe, guides us through experiences and opportunities. Odonata is the culmination of mine – a journey that continues to inspire me each day. Witnessing its transformative impact on lives is both humbling and motivating.

    I’m incredibly thankful to the amazing people who helped bring Odonata to life, and I’m equally proud of every student I’ve had the privilege of teaching. I have no doubt that they are the changemakers of tomorrow.

    I look forward to the opportunity to empower you too.

    Much Love,
