What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply culinary skills and digital marketing experience—ideally in hospitality or F&B operations with opportunities for growth, teamwork, and continuous learning.

I am a certified culinary professional with formal training in culinary arts and a diploma in digital marketing, blending hospitality expertise with digital skills.

I have hands-on kitchen experience from internships at Nairobi Serena Hotel and The Tribe Hotel, where I supported large-scale food production, hygiene standards, inventory and stock management, and menu presentation.

Alongside culinary work, I have developed competencies in digital marketing — including SEO, social media, and content creation — and practical experience in data entry and database management, Microsoft Office, and Canva.

I am recognized for leadership and teamwork, having captained school football teams and played competitively; I am passionate about continuous learning and delivering excellent service in hospitality or marketing roles.
