What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design and lead strategic communication and behavior-change programs, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive measurable impact for communities and clients.

I am a dedicated Communications Specialist with over eight years of experience across communication, advocacy, sales, and community development. I design outreach strategies, manage stakeholder relationships, and implement awareness campaigns that produce measurable behavior change.

At Autochek Africa I developed digital marketing and communication campaigns that increased client engagement by 35% in six months, and previously I consistently exceeded quarterly sales targets by 20% at Platinum Group Africa through innovative outreach.

I have led child protection and community mobilization initiatives, reaching over 2,000 community members in Mathare, and have built client feedback and retention frameworks that improved satisfaction and retention by 40%.

I bring expertise in strategic communication, stakeholder engagement, MEL, proposal development, and team coordination, and I am passionate about development communication, child protection, and empowering vulnerable communities.
