What I'm looking for

I'm looking to connect with tourism professionals, sustainability experts, and partners advancing innovative destination development, climate-conscious projects, conservation-focused tourism, and indigenous knowledge preservation.

At the County Government of Nyandarua, I lead sustainable tourism policy development, project implementation, and strategic partnerships that strengthen local infrastructure and community engagement.

I've contributed to the Ol’Kalou Arboretum Master Plan, Lake Ol’Bolossat Integrated Management Plan 2020–2030, and Nyandarua County Tourism Development and Marketing Policy. My project work includes the Lake Ol’Bolossat Sports Tourism Half-marathon and the county's first modern green project with solar-heated amenities.

I build collaborations with organizations including FAO and UNESCO to advance climate-conscious destination development, conservation-focused tourism, and indigenous knowledge preservation.
