I am a community development and project management professional with experience leading youth-focused, education, and SRHR initiatives across Kenya. My background includes serving as a Teach For Kenya Fellow at Mlolongo Primary School, where I designed and implemented girl-empowerment projects, founded and coordinated the Girl Up JiExpress Club, and managed book-reading and photography programs that strengthened student engagement and learning outcomes. I have worked with partners such as Let Girls Thrive, EmpowerHer (USA/Kenya), and Reprohealth Network, supporting capacity-building, outreach events, curriculum development, and data management. My roles have involved project planning, training facilitation, community mobilization, monitoring and reporting, and stakeholder engagement. Across these positions, I have demonstrated strong skills in mentorship, program coordination, safeguarding, communication, and building inclusive spaces for girls, youth, and marginalized groups.
