What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a hands-on role where I can grow as a Civil Engineer, learn from a supportive team, and contribute with leadership, problem solving, and practical project work—while still applying my interest in data and technology.

I’m hardworking with outstanding determination and drive to rise above the odds. As a seasoned leader and team player trained as an engineer, I bring energy from my active involvement in ACES (Association of Civil engineering students ) Kenyatta University, including camp visits and engineering workshops.

I’ve also volunteered and led in leadership-focused programs, participated in the Women in Engineering student summit 2.0 at the University of Nairobi, and served as a mentor in the Ropes Program organized by Tanari Trust (2022–2024). Through my attachment as a Civil Engineer at Kenyatta University (May to September on ongoing projects) and a data science and machine learning internship with Edureka, I combine hands-on engineering exposure with curiosity for data-driven problem solving.
