What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead investigations, design and deliver training, strengthen AML/compliance frameworks, and contribute to security policy and capacity building in mission-driven organizations.

I am a criminologist and security professional with extensive experience in fraud investigations, crime analysis, and security risk management in Nairobi, Kenya.

I currently serve as a Crime Analyst and Investigator and as an adjunct trainer and coordinator, delivering curricula in criminology, criminal justice, anti-money laundering, and security risk management.

My background includes legal assistance and court process work, curriculum development for TVET, numerous certifications in security, AML and humanitarian protection, and published commentary on criminal justice and policing reform.

I am committed to capacity building, evidence-based investigations, and strengthening institutional responses to fraud, terrorism financing, and community protection through training, research, and practical implementation.
