What I'm looking for

I'm looking to use environmental communications, science writing, and community engagement to turn evidence into stories and campaigns that support climate, conservation, clean-air, and water-quality action.

I translate environmental data and field programmes into stories that reach communities, funders, and policymakers. My work spans campaigns, newsletters, digital channels, community media, and policy advocacy.

At teachSTEM, I developed the case study narrative for Citizen Science Corners in Kenyan schools and co-authored a UNEP-hosted article on citizen science, clean air, and sustainable development ahead of UNEA-7.

Through the Citizen Science for Air Quality Community of Practice, I lead communications and stakeholder outreach for a global air-quality monitoring community. I co-authored a DOI-registered sensor guide that has received 1,500+ downloads and produced materials tailored to African contexts.

At Green Generation Initiative and UNEP's World Water Quality Alliance, I've grown digital audiences, shaped consistent communications, and told the impact stories behind tree planting, school environmental clubs, and community water-quality monitoring. I also co-founded The Unheard African Podcast and facilitate community conversations that make science and policy accessible.
