I started worked as HEO GRD. 1 than promoted to HEO GRD 2, then to HEO GRD 3., and to Health Advisor GRD 14. I am registered under the Medical Board of Papua New Guinea. I was Health Advisor for more than 10 years. I did my Diploma in Community Medicine in UPNG and my Master in Public Health in Queensland University for one year and eight months I did my research on TB Dots. When completing my degree, I was displaced from Health Advisor’s position because it was given to a man who do not have any qualification. Thanks to DWU that it has seen my potential and I am here today. At DWU I did my Post Graduate in Higher Education Teaching and Learning, Secondly I did my BADGE online teaching on Moodle offered by DWU and University of British Columbia Okanagan.
