Passionate advocate for sustainable development and community social work.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful community engagement.

I am an adaptable and motivated professional with a strong passion for sustainable development and community social work. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Development Studies, where I specialized in executing sustainable development projects, including pivotal research on HIV among youth in Nairobi's slums. My academic background has equipped me with a solid foundation in development principles, and I am eager to apply this knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Throughout my career, I have gained diverse experience in various roles, from an Education Consultant guiding students in their academic pursuits in Australia to a Project Intern at HOPE worldwide Kenya, where I upheld social work ethics while conducting research. My internships have not only honed my research and communication skills but also allowed me to engage with communities and contribute positively to their development.

I am proficient in time management, problem-solving, and decision-making, and I thrive in collaborative environments. I am now seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills and experiences to make a meaningful impact in sustainable development and social work.
