Emily kamau

I am a results-driven professional with expertise in Customs & Border Control, backed by two years of hands on experience at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Throughout my service, I refined skills in customs enforcement, administrative support and revenue collection. Proven ability to manage data reconciliation, compliance verification, documentation and trade facilitation. Experienced at working in high-pressure environments.

In my role at KRA I collaborated closely with key stakeholders, including the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), Law Enforcement agencies and clearing agents-to facilitate seamless cargo clearance while ensuring strict adherence to customs regulations. I contributed to joint inspections, managed imports and exemptions registers and proactively identified discrepancies, sharpening my analytical skills and attention to detail.
Additionally, I served as a Rapporteur during validation meetings, capturing concise summaries of discussions and action points ensuring effective follow-up.

Beyond Customs & Border Control, I have a background in Sales Merchandising and Customer relations, having worked with William Grant & Sons and British American Tobacco (BAT),These roles refined my ability to enhance product visibility, drive sales and build lasting partnerships, strengthening my ability to perform in fast-paced, target driven environments.

Outside of my professional career, I am passionate about contributing positively to community development. In 2023, I contributed to the Kenya Revenue Authority’s Taxpayer’s Month, a campaign that celebrated compliant taxpayers while raising awareness about the critical roles taxes play in nation development. Moreover, I actively contributed to tree planting projects at Kinelia Forest under the KRA team which was not only fulfilling but also aligned with my dedication to environmental sustainability.
