Introducing Suwilo Namfukwe - University and Careers Services

Born in Zambia,raised in Australia, and fine-tuned in the United States, Suwilo joins us after having spent the past 8 years in the corporate world where she was part of a team that developed holistic wellness programs for mines across Africa. This work included providing counseling and assessment support to the schools within the mining communities, and support around critical developmental issues faced within schools such as bullying, career selection, and cultural awareness. 

With a Bachelor of Science in Psychology & Criminal Justice, and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana, Suwilo worked as a College Admissions recruiter for her Alma Mater, a Residence Director at Azusa Pacific University in California, and a Counselor for at risk high school students in Warsaw, Indiana and San Jose, California. 

As a certified provider of all MBTI and Pearson psychometric tools, she has enjoyed working with individuals and groups over the past 10 years to identify their unique strengths and passions in order to choose paths that are best suited to who they are in order to leave their unique mark on an ever evolving world and global community.

When Suwilo is not working with people and corporations to improve their overall wellness, she loves to explore and discover new people and places, preferably in hiking boots and a tent where possible; create music on her guitar; learn fun new skills (she has recently taken up MMA); play sports; and eat really great food. 

Suwilo is excited to be joining the ISL community and thrilled at the opportunity to help shape and guide the paths of the students she will be working with.
