Tech-savvy forensic science and compliance specialist with diverse experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a motivated and innovative professional with a strong background in forensic science and compliance. With two years of hands-on experience, I have honed my skills in DNA extraction, fingerprints analysis, and firearms examination. My journey began at Kenyatta University, where I earned my BSc in Forensic Science, and I have since applied my knowledge in various roles, including internships at the Government Chemist's Department and Diamond Trust Bank.
During my time at the Government Chemist's Department, I worked under a senior officer, managing forensic exhibits and conducting detailed analyses. I generated forensic reports and attended court as an expert witness, showcasing my ability to communicate complex findings effectively. My internship at Diamond Trust Bank further enriched my understanding of compliance and due diligence, where I learned about financial systems and AML policies while engaging directly with clients.
In addition to my forensic expertise, I have experience in market research, data annotation, and SEO writing. I am passionate about tackling new challenges and continuously expanding my skill set. I thrive in both individual and team settings, always striving for excellence in every task I undertake.
