I am a female Professional Civil Engineer registered under both Engineers Board of Kenya and The Institute of Engineers Kenya. I am a graduate from the university of Nairobi where I attained second class upper in the year 2014.I have been privileged to work in the roads sector for 8 years now and I have gathered vast experience in the same. My strong initiative and organization skills combined with my ability to work under pressure and under minimum supervision allows me to play a crucial pace in the fast paced technical and engineering sector. My aim is to design and  build roads and structures that will endure the test of time and that are aesthetically pleasing and functional at the best. I have gained a lot of experience as discussed in my curriculum vitae and I believe I can well under take any task allocated to me.
