What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support teams end-to-end—calendar and stakeholder coordination, research briefs, and hands-on IT support—while growing my impact in a collaborative, process-driven environment.

I’m a graduate of Library and Information Science from Kenyatta University with additional training in leadership and Chinese language and culture. I bring a strong foundation in information management, research skills, and a collaborative work ethic.

As an IT Officer at MaritimeMackenzie EA Ltd, I maintained and troubleshot computer networks, ensured data security, and performed regular backups. I also provided technical support to staff, handled software and hardware installation and updates, managed IT inventory and equipment, and trained employees while enforcing IT policies and procedures.

In my current Virtual Assistant role, I manage calendars, coordinate meetings and county visits, handle emails and letters, and keep stakeholders aligned. I track constituency issues and flag urgent cases, coordinate events and NGAAF forums, prepare research briefs, and maintain groups databases—bringing structure, responsiveness, and follow-through. I’ve also worked as a Teacher and supported library operations through coordinated correspondence, minutes, training workshops, and office logistics.
