What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining education, research, and community-focused program work where I can apply communication, editing, and monitoring skills to support vulnerable populations.

I am an educator and communications professional with a Bachelor of Education (Arts) in History and Swahili and extensive volunteer experience supporting refugee protection, livelihoods, and community peacebuilding.

I have worked as a secondary school teacher and department head, a sales executive leading marketing teams, and a freelance copy editor who refines content, selects graphics, and collaborates with writers to produce clear, audience-focused stories.

My volunteer work includes long-term engagement with Professor Ogenga Otunnu's team on refugee programmes across East Africa, mentoring and supporting women and children through Rotary International and Children Peace Initiative, and hands-on community outreach including distribution of humanitarian items and peace education.

I bring strong research, communication, analytical, and computer skills (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint), a proven ability to plan and meet deadlines, and a collaborative, service-oriented approach to roles that combine education, advocacy, and content development.
