What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a reputable organization that values environmental conservation and offers opportunities for professional growth and skill development.

I am a highly motivated Geographic Information Systems expert with over 5 years of experience in providing environmental and geospatial solutions for sustainable development. My proficiency in data collection, spatial data analysis, and data presentation has enabled me to contribute effectively to various projects. I excel in using tools such as ArcGIS Pro and QGIS, and I possess strong communication and interpersonal skills that allow me to work well both independently and as part of a team.

Throughout my career, I have participated in significant projects, including the enforcement of the plastic bags ban and the rehabilitation of degraded forests in Vihiga County. My role as a GIS Assistant Officer involved the collection and analysis of spatial data, digitization of maps, and the creation of data collection applications. I am passionate about environmental conservation and am committed to leveraging my skills to make a positive impact in society.
