What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated social worker with over three years of experience in community development and social work. My journey has been focused on serving disadvantaged youths and adults, including the homeless, and addressing issues related to gender violence and conflict resolution. My educational background includes a Diploma in Community Development and Social Work from The Eldoret National Polytechnic, where I honed my skills in building community support and strategic partnerships.
In my professional career, I have worked as a graphics designer and production supervisor at Kaleidoscope Creations Kenya, where I was promoted due to my excellent performance. I have also served as a social worker/project officer with Agents of Peace, engaging youths and communities in peace-building initiatives. My volunteer work with Activista C.B.O Kenya has further solidified my commitment to finding solutions to community challenges.
