What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters growth and collaboration.

I am Daisy Omollo, a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Kenyatta University. My academic journey, culminating in Upper Second-Class Honors, has equipped me with critical thinking and problem-solving skills that I apply in my work. I have a proven track record in transcription and data annotation, having worked with reputable companies like Lionbridge Technologies and TransPerfect. My commitment to accuracy and quality is reflected in my ability to achieve over 95% accuracy in transcription tasks.

Throughout my career, I have embraced leadership roles that have honed my interpersonal skills. As the inaugural Secretary of the Ndhiwa NG-CDF Committee and Chairperson of the Ndhiwa – Kenyatta University Students Association, I have led initiatives that foster community engagement and motivation among students. My experiences have not only enhanced my communication skills but also my ability to work collaboratively in diverse teams. I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic environment that values innovation and teamwork.
