What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level finance and data role where I can support accounts reconciliation, reporting, and procurement, learn from audits, and contribute to projects with strong sustainable development impact.

I’m a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) graduate building practical strength in accounts management, procurement support, research, and data analysis. In my World Vision Kenya accounts payable internship, I processed and verified invoices and financial records with high accuracy, assisted in account reconciliation, and helped reduce discrepancies by 15% while preparing financial summaries to support audits.

I also strengthened operational control through store keeping and admin support at St Joseph High School Ngong, where I managed procurement and inventory tracking and implemented a tracking system that reduced stock shortages by 20%. I’m comfortable leading research work—such as my microfinance and small business growth project—where I led data collection, analyzed results, and presented actionable insights to academic supervisors, driven by a passion for sustainable development and impact in East Africa.
