About

I am a young enthusiastic and focused Operations Director with fifteen years experience working at different capacities. I graduated from Moi University with a bachelor science in Information Science and later advanced to Catholic University of Eastern Africa to undertake my Masters in Development Studies. Currently I am finalizing a masters program in Communication Science.

I first got into the industry working as systems administrator for Lyle Kenya for two years. There I provided systems support with interdepartmental communication, helped in managing schedules, and maintained the digital filing system.

After that, I worked as a part time lecturer at Moi University lecturing first and second year students for two years. Later on i moved to work with Nandi County Government as a legislator within the assembly representing the youths of the county for a period of five years. During this period, my roles exposed me to work closely with government officials, civil societies, youth led groups, Non Government organizations and learning institutions, There, I managed to push several motions and bills that touched on the marginalized population and made me be a good listener and problem solver.

I moved to work with Dronex Company Limited as an Operations Director for five years. Here my main role was administrative and I personally managed teams and made sure everything went smoothly in terms of business goals, deadlines, logistics, budget, human resource and communications.
