ALEX MARI

I am a nutritionist by training. In addition, I am a long distance runner, actively doing 10000metres race and 5000 metres race. I am passionate about wellbeing of people around me and moreso, the children. I am encouraged when I see a healthy population of young children. At that moment, I just know that the future is safe.

Being a nutritionist, I was attached at Kapsabet County Referral Hospital for 3 months and I served in different departments such as maternal child health, renal unit, general ward and comprehensive care unit. 

I handled many nutrition and Nutrition related cases and this added to my already acquired knowledge. Due to the daily applications of nutrition, my zeal to serve people for a better nation and globe in nutrition increased.

I double as a driver too. I'm this case, I may not be a burden if I am needed somewhere and there is no one to drive me. That means saving on cost too.

During my internship (4months), I served at a food production unit and a production supervisor trainee. This gave me more knowledge on value addition, record keeping, human resource and quality control parameters in the production processes.

I have been at JKUAT Main Campus taking a BSc. In Food Science and Nutrition. This is my recent education. I learnt a lot about community health and public health, nutrition and Nutrition related cases, drug and food interactions, nutrition and food security famine and droughts and humanitarian assistance and nutrition emergencies.
