What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to contribute my organizational, analytical, and communication skills in a dynamic business environment, support strategic initiatives, and grow within diverse business roles.

At Select Leasing, I created and executed marketing strategies, conducted market research, and managed the company’s brand image. I championed digital tools including TikTok, X, and Instagram, helping diversify the client base.

At Tamu Tamu Wholesalers Ltd, I managed sales relationships with over 15 retail clients in Kitale and generated daily sales exceeding Ksh 75000. I also introduced new products through field sales and marketing and maintained inventory records.

As an Assistant Accountant at Kitale Medium Prison, I performed financial reconciliations, entered transactions, and prepared financial statements under the guidance of senior accountants. My studies at University of Eldoret included research on SMEs in the Kenyan economy and macroeconomic variables affecting bank stock returns.
