Driven Risk and Compliance Professional with a strong academic foundation.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Risk and Compliance Professional with a solid academic background in Criminology and Security Studies. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Peace and Security, which complements my hands-on experience gained through internships and self-directed study. My proactive approach and sharp analytical thinking enable me to navigate complex compliance frameworks and security risks effectively.
During my internships at Embu Law Court and Runyenjes Probation Office, I honed my skills in risk assessment, regulatory compliance, and incident reporting. I have developed a keen understanding of legal procedures and the importance of confidentiality and professionalism in sensitive environments. My ability to communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders has been instrumental in ensuring compliance and managing documentation accurately.
With a strong commitment to ethical decision-making and integrity, I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge and skills to contribute positively to organizational risk management and compliance efforts. I continuously seek opportunities to enhance my expertise and stay abreast of evolving security challenges.
