I am a graduate of Jomokenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. My major being Development Studies.Over the past 5 years I have had opportunities to work on different professional roles. I have been an administrative assistant in apprenticeship with Richan Eco consult limited.

During my apprenticeship I focused my time on providing administrative support to ensure smooth and efficient operation of office.At the firm my biggest accomplishment was the ability to challenge myself into completing tasks allocated within the stipulated time which resulted to positive feedback and growth of the firm clientele to 8% within a period of 3months an increase of the firm's clientele contacts database.

Prior to this role, I worked with Rescue Dada Rehabilitation Center, Under the social services department for 3 years as a lead social worker, where my duties and responsibilities were rescue, rehabilitation, reintegration and resocialization of street connected girls from the streets on Nairobi and Identification of suitable caregivers to be reunited with,therein providing safe environment for the girls to grow and excel in community setups.

I pride Myself in having participated in successful reintegration of over 200 rehabilitated street connected girls with suitable identified caregivers across Kenya. Conducted school placement for over 200 street connected girls to join primary schools, secondary schools and vocational training centres across the country and got involved in over 200 household livelihood assessments to explore potential/suitable beneficiaries of economic empowerment activities such as income generating activities to empower beneficiaries to be self reliant within communities.

 I was also led a multidisciplinary team whose mandate was to ensure all decisions made concerning the child at the centre and outside was primarily to champion for their best interest. I also worked as a social development intern with the Catholic Diocese of Nakuru serving in the department of social welfare program, tasked with building social-economic strategies for street connected children,the aged and rehabilitated commercial sex workers to enable them to start small businesses aimed towards improving their household livelihoods.

This resulted to the birth of 2 self help groups, (women of Destiny ) and (Tumaini women's group)which helped in cultivating Savings culture and self discipline,self reliability and sustainability of these reformed women.
