What I'm looking for
I am an agribusiness management graduate with practical experience leading vocational training programs and community outreach. I combine strong administrative, reporting and presentation skills with hands-on training in agribusiness, basic computing and entrepreneurship.
As an instructor, team leader and deputy centre manager I designed and implemented mobilization and outreach strategies, organized career fairs and stakeholder meetings, and managed partnerships with organizations such as KEFRI and Kenya Red Cross. I led efforts that trained over 100 youths, achieving high employment and entrepreneurship outcomes and increasing donor scholarships substantially.
