What I'm looking for

I seek a role that emphasizes human connection and impactful work, ideally in NGOs or research.

I am a passionate and dynamic professional with a background in Sociology and Community Development. My experience spans research, advocacy, community mobilization, and sales engagement, where I have honed my skills in data collection and customer relations. I thrive in collaborative environments, working with diverse teams to deliver impactful solutions that resonate in both social and commercial contexts.

Throughout my career, I have engaged in various roles, including as a Research Assistant at Egerton University, where I conducted qualitative interviews and surveys. My role as a Soil Sampler with ISDA allowed me to support sustainable farming practices through accurate data collection and analysis. I am committed to leveraging my skills in qualitative and quantitative research, community outreach, and CRM systems to make a meaningful impact in my next role.
