What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level administrative or events role that uses my German skills, offers hands-on responsibility in operations or data tasks, and provides mentorship within a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a Bachelor of Education (Arts) German student at Kenyatta University and a multilingual professional. I bring practical experience in administration, data entry and event coordination gained through roles at the Goethe‑Institut.

As Chairperson of the German Club I led meetings, managed calendars, onboarded members and coordinated activities and performances. I also supported AMIF projects as a Data Entry Assistant, ensuring accurate records and organized administration.

I am a fast learner with strong intercultural communication skills who seeks opportunities to grow, contribute to collaborative teams, and apply my German language skills in practical settings.
