## About

```text
At GiveDirectly Kenya, I managed a climate resilience and livelihood recovery cash transfer programme in Baringo County, overseeing more than US$8.2 million in transfers and achieving over 95% of the target.

I led enrolment and verification for 9,500 beneficiary households, reaching 98% data accuracy through quality assurance and operational controls. I also developed monitoring, accountability, and feedback mechanisms to support programme delivery.

In Bomet County, I managed an unconditional cash transfer programme reaching approximately 32,000 households. I recruited, trained, and supervised more than 50 field and associate managers, and led operational close-out with 100% payout completion.

Most recently, I managed special projects in Turkana County, coordinating operational readiness for an anticipatory action cash transfer programme. I created real-time monitoring dashboards for trigger tracking and supported safety planning in a remote operating environment.
