What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to combine my writing skills with mental health advocacy, ideally in a supportive and innovative environment.

I am a dedicated content developer and mental health writer with extensive experience in creating engaging articles and managing web content. Since 2017, I have been freelancing, focusing on mental health topics that resonate with readers. My personal website showcases my work and reflects my commitment to promoting mental wellness through informative writing.

In addition to my writing career, I am currently a Counseling Psychologist at Ngaira Health Center and Jesus Helper Children’s Home. I also serve as a Trainer of Trainers, where I plan and execute training workshops. My previous roles include Marketing Executive at InVhestia Africa Limited and Regional Communications Assistant at CARE International, where I honed my skills in content development, brand awareness, and event management.
