What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters creativity and teamwork, where I can contribute to impactful marketing strategies and continue to grow professionally.

I am a passionate marketing professional with a background in communication and leadership. My experience includes serving as the Marketing and Communication Secretary for the Hoja Youth Summit 2018, where I successfully developed and executed integrated marketing communications plans that attracted over 230 delegates from multiple countries. I thrive in team environments and have a proven track record of utilizing social media analytics to enhance engagement and awareness.

As a Radio Presenter at USIU Radio, I led a team in discussing social issues and produced shows that resonated with millennials. My efforts were recognized when I was awarded Best Male Radio Presenter in 2019 for my commitment to social awareness. Currently, I am an intern at the Kenya Revenue Authority, where I coordinate research activities and prepare statistical reports to inform decision-making.
