I’m a highly dedicated and motivated graduate with a second upper division in BSc Ecotourism and Hospitality Management from Egerton University. I’m an eco-enthusiast committed to preserving natural habitats and supporting local communities through sustainable travel.

I advocate for responsible tourism practices that prioritize the protection of our planet and safeguarding precious ecosystems. Through immersive experiences and eco-conscious choices, I strive to inspire others to explore the world while staying environmentally responsible.

In my recent experience as a Research Assistant (Casual) at the Kenya Forest Research Institute, I participated in field data collection on social, economic, and environmental aspects of forest-dependent communities. I engaged community members on resilience to climate change and sustainable forest use, and supported data collection on gender and social inclusion while ensuring adherence to ethical standards.

I’ve also designed and delivered training programs as an Ecotourism and Hospitality Lecturer at Doan College, assessing students and integrating current industry trends into the curriculum. Earlier, I supported guest service as a Food and Beverage Assistant and gained ecotourism delivery experience with the Kenya Forest Service through visitor experience management and environmental education programs.
