What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities in advisory firms that value collaboration and innovation.

I am a highly motivated business advisor and manager with a keen interest in management advisory, audit, finance, and tax services. My journey began at Strathmore University, where I earned a Bachelor of Commerce and am currently pursuing my CPA. I am passionate about developing winning business strategies and models that foster growth and profitability for organizations in East Africa and beyond.

In my current role as an Administrative Assistant at Strathmore University, I support the Financial Aid Office by managing data and liaising with students. My previous experiences, including an internship at the Ministry of Health in Uganda, have equipped me with strong analytical and communication skills, enabling me to contribute effectively to team objectives. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in advisory firms and corporate environments.
