What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to utilize my criminology background while contributing to community safety and human rights.

I am a highly dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Security Studies from Mount Kenya University. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of international relations, humanitarian interventions, and community policing. I have honed my skills in crime investigation, human rights advocacy, and gender equality, which I am eager to leverage in a dynamic organization.

My experience as an Area Collection Executive at Sun King Solar Company has enhanced my communication and leadership skills, allowing me to effectively convert overdue client accounts into current accounts. Additionally, my internship at Mungania Tea Factory provided me with hands-on experience in security operations, where I recorded security reports and monitored activities to ensure safety. I believe in the power of teamwork and critical thinking, which I developed during my attachment at Thika Police Station, where I worked on various cases involving crime analysis and community policing.
