What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic role in accounting, financial analysis, or project management where I can apply my skills in budget preparation, financial planning, and data analysis to contribute to organizational growth and success.

I am a passionate and self-driven Economics and Statistics graduate with a strong academic record and professional experience in accounting, financial analysis, and project management. My hands-on experience includes credit control, financial report analysis, audit, tax regulation, and proficiency in QuickBooks, MS Office, STATA, and SPSS.

During my tenure as a Credit Officer at SEVI Kenya, I successfully assessed credit risk, provided excellent customer service, and increased the client portfolio by 10%. I also developed customer retention strategies that improved the retention rate from 2% to 6%. As a Finance Intern at St. Joseph Shelter of Hope Mission Hospital, I assisted in maintaining financial records, preparing financial statements, and budget preparations using QuickBooks and Excel.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Statistics from Machakos University, where I was an active member of the Machakos University Economics Club Association and the Kenya Economics Students Association. I also completed a certificate in STATA and SPSS from Machakos University in December 2023.
