Simon Wangari

My name is Simon Muthamo, a Kenyan male aged 48 years of age.

Currently, I serve as the welfare bus driver, including being in charge of the organization's fleet of vehicles. From my 15 years of experience as a senior driver, I’ve developed the ability to anticipate (roadblocks) and create effective alternative plans. My greatest value to any organization is my ability to work independently, freeing up their time to focus on the needs of the business.

I believe you're looking for someone who understands the nuances of a busy organization and can proactively tackle issues. As someone with an eye for detail and a drive to organize, I thrive on making sure every day has a clear plan and every plan is clearly communicated.

I would say that as a bus driver, I’m vigilant, proactive and committed to ensuring the safety of my passengers. I have driven the buses for 15 years without any accidents or incidents, and I like to be thorough in documenting all incidents. I’m also a lifelong learner, always seeking new ways and techniques to improve in other areas related to my line of work.
