What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to apply my institutional partnership, programme leadership, and technical MHPSS expertise at a global or strategic level.

At Zawena Treatment Centre, I built and sustained partnerships with the National Police Service, Kenya Prison Service, and the Ministries of Interior and Immigration. I designed trauma-informed treatment plans for referred clients and coordinated care with psychiatrists, doctors, and social workers.

At Zawena and Precision Counselling & Rehabilitation Home, I supervised psychologists, staff, and interns and supported psychosocial rehabilitation programming. I also used WHO-recommended assessment toolkits and structured reporting frameworks to monitor client progress.
