What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my skills in communication and event management while fostering growth and innovation within a collaborative team environment.

I'm a Communication and Events Specialist with over 5 years of experience in digital marketing, content creation, and event coordination. My journey has been about helping brands communicate effectively and create impactful content that resonates with their audience. I thrive on crafting strategies that not only tell stories but also drive measurable results.

In my current role as the Communications and Events Lead at Corporate Staffing Kenya, I manage the planning and execution of high-impact training events, both virtual and in-person. I also focus on creating engaging content for our audience, ensuring that our messaging is clear and impactful. My ability to analyze data and adapt strategies has led to increased event attendance and enhanced brand visibility.

Throughout my career, I have trained over 300 youth in digital marketing and content creation, empowering them to grow their online presence. My commitment to mentoring and community engagement reflects my belief in the power of communication to drive change and foster connections.
