What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where I can apply finance, mediation, strategic problem-solving, leadership, and creative execution to turn complex ideas into purposeful, measurable results.

I'm a Certified Mediator and strategic problem-solver who brings finance, leadership, negotiation, and creative execution together to create measurable results.

At KCB Bank Group, I supported the preparation and analysis of financial statements, contributing to accurate financial reporting and the smooth flow of financial data.

At Marketing Society of Kenya, I work across finance, membership, and administration. My finance background is supported by studies in International Business Administration with a concentration in Finance.

I've also built brand identities, social media content, and marketing materials for Simona Flowers and Gifts, Halal African Bites, Freight In Time, and Deckra Investment Limited, while helping Abiria Payments educate users about its fare-payment app.
