What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my meteorological skills in a collaborative environment, where I can contribute to safety in aviation and further develop my expertise in weather analysis.

I am a passionate and detail-oriented meteorologist with a solid academic background and real-world experience in aviation weather services. I thrive in high-pressure environments where accuracy and clarity matter. Whether I’m decoding METAR messages, analyzing radar data, or briefing pilots before takeoff, I love using science to keep people safe.

On top of my technical skills, I’ve also built strong communication and customer service abilities. Whether I’m speaking to a team or writing a report, I know how to make complex information easy to understand. My experience as a meteorological intern at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport has equipped me with practical skills in collecting and recording weather data, preparing aviation reports, and delivering briefings to aviation teams.
