What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow creatively, collaborate with others, and contribute to impactful projects in film and animation.

I am a dedicated and reliable student currently pursuing a Bachelor of Film Production and Animation at Multimedia University of Kenya, expected to graduate in 2027. My journey in film has been marked by a passion for storytelling and a commitment to honing my skills in editing and animation. I have successfully directed and edited several short films and animations, showcasing my ability to manage visual content from concept to final output.

Throughout my academic career, I have taken on various leadership roles, including serving as a class representative and leading clubs such as the Debate and Red Cross Clubs. These experiences have not only enhanced my teamwork and communication skills but have also instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility and the ability to handle pressure effectively. I thrive in both creative and customer service environments, always eager to learn and take on new challenges.
