Background

I am an accomplished education and advocacy professional with over 15 years of progressive experience in program management, policy influence, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement across Kenya and beyond. My expertise includes leading large-scale projects, advancing life skills and values-based education, building capacities of teachers, parents and community members and strategic partnerships with government, civil society, and development partners. I have a proven record of influencing education policy, developing partnerships, and driving initiatives that promote equitable, quality learning for children and adolescents.

Advice I'd give my 8-year-old self:

"Every time you talk to someone or try something new, you can learn something important. When you ask questions, it helps you understand things better. As you grow up, all these little things you learn will help you solve problems and try new things in life."
