KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated business advisor and manager with a keen interest in management advisory, audit, finance, and tax services.

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.
