What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful decision-making.

I am a proactive Economics graduate with a solid foundation in policy research, regulatory frameworks, and data-driven decision-making. My hands-on experience with the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has equipped me with the skills to support the development of carbon market regulations. Additionally, I serve as a Volunteer Resource Person at CMA, where I educate grassroots individuals on capital markets, contributing to a measurable increase in investor participation across Kenya.

Currently, I am advancing through my CPA certification (Section 4) and possess demonstrated strengths in financial analysis, financial literacy, and stakeholder engagement. I am eager to apply my blend of technical knowledge and public service commitment to drive institutional audit excellence while gaining valuable experience from your team.
