KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated Economics and Finance student at Kenyatta University, and I bring hands-on research and marketing experience focused on turning information into action. I’m results-oriented, and I enjoy working in dynamic environments where analytical thinking supports real organizational outcomes.
As a Research Fellow with Kenyatta University Economics Students Association (KUESA), I contribute to research publications by gathering and analyzing data and drafting research outputs. I also plan and coordinate corporate visits, support event preparation for major association activities like economic symposiums, and help organize research initiatives and collaborative academic programs.
Alongside my research work, I’ve supported data-driven decisions through primary data collection and structured questionnaires as a Research Assistant at KUDHEIHA. I’ve also worked as a Marketing Assistant for Capital DT Sacco—promoting financial products to boost membership growth, coordinating outreach, and delivering tailored product pitches to build strong customer engagement.
