What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my financial advisory, investment, budgeting, and analytical skills in a role focused on helping clients or organizations make informed financial decisions.

At Britam, I advise clients on disciplined savings, capital preservation through diversification and investments, and tailored insurance protection. I generated KES 3.9 million in annualized premium through 52 new clients.

I bring financial advisory and budgeting experience from the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, where I implemented budget allocations for 99 Kenyan missions abroad. I also analyzed financial correspondence and delivered advisory services that streamlined operations for more than seven diplomatic missions.

My Financial Engineering background includes building a hybrid ARIMA-LSTM model to predict Equity share prices with 93% accuracy, using time-series analysis and machine learning to capture seasonal trends and long-term movements.

I'm also active in AIESEC in Kenya, where I've developed international internship experiences, maintained exchange and partner trackers, and supported partnership and member-development initiatives.
