What I'm looking for

I’m looking for mission-driven work where I can support programme delivery and stakeholder engagement through research, coordination, and accurate documentation—while helping organizations strengthen institutions and create lasting social impact through effective, innovative execution.

I am a mission-driven Programme Attaché with practical experience supporting regional policy initiatives and humanitarian programmes. I strengthen delivery through programme coordination, research and background analysis, and clear, timely documentation that helps teams stay accountable and informed.

Across the East African Community and the Kenya Red Cross Society, I coordinate stakeholder meetings, prepare policy reports and briefing notes, maintain accurate programme records, and support operational and logistical workflows. I also bring customer-facing strengths from sales and marketing work, and I’m complemented by Virtual Assistant training in executive support, email/calendar management, and digital collaboration.
