Carlton Waiti

Economics graduate from Kenyatta University with hands-on experience in financial reporting, variance analysis, and field research across UNICEF Kenya and ILO-backed initiatives. I combine strong quantitative foundations in econometrics, financial instruments, and project appraisal with practical skills in Excel, SQL, and Power BI. I have built financial dashboards, reconciled accounts inside a logistics finance team, and produced analytical outputs that fed directly into UN policy documents.

I am now deliberately building toward investment analysis and capital allocation, and I am looking for an internship or analyst role where I can apply this foundation to real deal and portfolio work.
