I am skilled at identifying customer pain points and contributing to process improvements that boost support efficiency.
My background includes roles at TechGlobal Solutions, Teleperformance Kenya, Safaricom PLC, and freelance work for international SaaS and e-commerce clients. I have a Master of Arts in Communication & Customer Experience from the University of Cape Town and a BA in Communication from the University of Nairobi.
