What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my skills in public policy and communications within a dynamic and collaborative environment.

I am an aspiring professional with a B.A. in International Relations from Mount Kenya University, where I honed my research and analytical skills. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in public policy, sustainability, and effective communication strategies. I am eager to apply my knowledge in real-world settings, contributing to global and regional projects that focus on impactful public policy.

During my internship with the County Government of Mombasa, I conducted extensive legal and policy research, supporting departmental strategies through qualitative and quantitative analysis. My role involved creating engaging multimedia presentations that enhanced communication effectiveness and liaising with various agencies to ensure regulatory compliance. Additionally, I have volunteered with organizations such as Hearts of Gold and Youth with a Mission, where I led community development initiatives and educational programs, demonstrating my commitment to social impact and teamwork.
