What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute in people-centred, growth-driven environments where I can mentor teams, deliver training, strengthen programmes, and create meaningful impact across energy, education, entrepreneurship, or community development.

At Sun King, I lead and support field teams across multiple regions, mentoring agents and team leaders to improve sales skills, customer engagement, productivity, and performance. I facilitate training on digital tools, product knowledge, compliance, Litmos, and Kazi Plan while turning field feedback into actionable management insights.

I've also created and implemented education and civic studies programmes for young girls and women at Tiwale, managed project delivery at HAK-TECH ICT Limited, and overseen operations and community-development programmes. My work spans energy, education, entrepreneurship, and community development, grounded in empowering people to achieve their potential.
