Non-profit / Volunteering
Services offered
I am a self-driven, dedicated and competent young apprentice. As a recent graduate with a degree in International Relations and experience in both domestic and international matters, I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills to a dynamic and challenging work environment.
My academic background has provided me with strong research and analytical skills that have enabled me to conduct extensive research on various topics related to global governance, human rights, and international security.
I am a highly motivated individual with excellent communication skills, both verbal and written. I am fluent in English, Swahili and some French. I am also a team player and have demonstrated the ability to work collaboratively with people from diverse backgrounds in various work places.
Experience
In my previous role as a social worker intern, I had the opportunity to work with individuals and families facing financial hardships and complex mental health and social issues. My responsibilities included updating students' portals, conducting regular home visits, mentoring the students and collaborating with other departments to ensure coordinated care. One of my proudest achievements was to accompany international visitors and sponsors during the domiciliary visits for them to evangelize to the families.
Education
As per my university training at Strathmore University, I have learnt about diplomacy which has built my capability in conducting myself as a professional. I have also conducted my research on the role of regional and international organizations in fighting violent extremism in Africa. Additionally, as a French student, I have been the class coordinator and this helped me to horn my leadership skills and I learnt the importance of working as a team. As part of my course, I did my community service at a children's home and my internship as a social worker that enabled me to boost my interpersonal and communication skills, mentorship as well as effective time management.
