What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles combining legal practice, governance and program leadership in mission-driven organisations, with opportunities for policy impact, team leadership and institutional strengthening.

I am an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya with 14 years of experience in governance, policy formulation, legislative drafting and legal services management, including eight years in supervisory and managerial roles.

I have led institutional strengthening, program development and resource mobilisation for organisations such as the Law Society of Kenya, FIDA-Kenya and IDLO, coordinating multi-stakeholder reforms, managing large grants, and developing access-to-justice initiatives across Kenya.

My work includes establishing compliance units, activating mentorship and leadership academies, steering legislative reviews (including contribution to the Bail and Bond Bill 2019 and Children’s Act review), and publishing on administrative justice and gender mainstreaming. I bring strategic leadership, team management and a demonstrated record of delivering policy, program and governance outcomes.
