During that time she toured neighboring smaller towns the most memorable of which were Ogies, Middleburg and Rustenburg where she was actively involved in setting up and configuring laboratory management software..
While working at Bureau Veritas, Julia was afforded the opportunity to undergo training on LIMS, at one of the biggest labs in Perth, Australia. It was in Perth that Julia became knowledgeable on how to configure all laboratory instruments running on Linux (Fedora) including Balances, Labels printers and Analytical Instruments. Her previous training in Johannesburg for which she obtained a Linux Certification prepared the necessary foundation for her to successfully complete the Laboratory Information Management Systems training in Australia..
Julia’s travels also took her to the Ivory Coast, a country that Miss Nangolo has grown particularly fond of for its lively and bustling cities. At La Cote D’Ivoire she not only replaced an entire laboratory system, she also went on to provide training on the new system.
In 2015 she returned to her home country, Namibia to work as a Business Analyst in the banking sector. Julia has a passion for executing well run projects and is currently a full-time Project Manager.
