What I'm looking for

I seek project management roles in disaster risk and community development where I can apply GIS and data-processing skills, mentor youth, contribute measurable community impact, and grow into senior project leadership within a collaborative organization.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Disaster Risk Management from the Cooperative University of Kenya and currently work as a Project Associate at SmartCode Technologies in Nairobi.

I support project planning, execution, documentation, budget tracking, risk management and stakeholder coordination across multiple initiatives. I also worked remotely as an Independent Contractor at Cloudfactory Kenya processing invoices and non-invoice documents for US-based businesses.

My volunteer work with YMCA Shauri Moyo and Peace Ambassadors Kenya demonstrates my commitment to community development, environmental advocacy and youth mentorship. I am trained in GIS and as a Virtual Executive Assistant and I prioritize collaborative, impact-driven projects that deliver measurable community benefit.
