@joannjiru
Dedicated community development professional with strong interpersonal skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate community development professional with a diploma from Chuka University and a certificate in Social Work. My journey in this field has been enriched by my internship at Embu Level 5 Hospital, where I provide psychosocial support to patients and clients. I excel in conducting assessments and individual counseling sessions, ensuring that I manage data entry and maintain accurate records to support healthcare teams effectively.
My experience extends beyond the hospital setting, as I have volunteered at Giampopo Children’s Home and St. Stephen Children’s Home. Here, I supported management with administrative duties, provided guidance to children on academic and career choices, and organized extracurricular activities. I am committed to community engagement and empowerment, and I thrive in environments that allow me to utilize my strong communication and interpersonal skills.
