What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply advocate-level legal judgement and contracting/compliance skills alongside programme and stakeholder leadership—helping teams deliver well-organised, data-informed outcomes.

I’m an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya with a legal and programme management background spanning legal advisory, commercial contracting, community programme coordination, and stakeholder engagement.

In my roles, I’ve managed legal functions independently—handling contract review and legal queries—while also delivering day-to-day support across organisations, including contract management and regulatory compliance matters.

I hold an LL.M. in International Corporate and Commercial Law, with a research focus on financial regulation of FinTech in Kenya and the United Kingdom, and I bring that research mindset into practical regulatory and financial services work.

I also coordinate people, funding, and operations: securing annual programme funding, administering budgets and logistics, leading multi-site events, supervising teams, and using participation data to improve engagement and outcomes.
