What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead supply chain and procurement work—coordinating operations with strong documentation, quality assurance, and compliance—while also delivering practical training and capacity building to improve stakeholder and organisational performance.

I am a supply chain and procurement professional with over 11 years’ experience spanning procurement, supply chain management, logistics, operations coordination, and capacity building. I focus on procurement-related activities, programme coordination, documentation, reporting, quality assurance, and stakeholder engagement.

In my current role as Principal Trainer & Departmental Coordinator at Rift Valley National Polytechnic, I coordinate departmental operations and train learners and procurement professionals in Supply Chain Management, Procurement, Storekeeping, Business Management, and Project Management. I develop training materials, case studies, assessments, and practical activities aligned with industry requirements.

I have also supported competency-based education delivery through part-time lecturing and CBET implementation, preparing learning materials, assessments, and academic reports while supporting quality improvement and learner development. Previously, as a Senior Trainer at Taita Taveta National Polytechnic, I delivered diploma and professional training and supported curriculum review, assessment moderation, and programme improvement.

My approach is hands-on and compliance-focused: I participate in assessment, verification, moderation, and quality assurance activities, maintain training records, and support continuous improvement initiatives. I’m committed to helping universities, national polytechnics, and professional institutions strengthen supply chain capabilities and improve organisational performance through practical learning and strong operational systems.
