About

I am a research-oriented Political Science graduate with a multi-sector track record spanning finance, HR, government, healthcare, and academic environments. My work sits at the intersection of financial advisory, human capital management, and public policy.

From advising clients on insurance and investment products at Britam to supporting HR compliance for a U.S. healthcare provider and drafting policy briefs at Kenya's Ministry of Interior, I bring rigorous analytical thinking and a commitment to evidence-based, ethical decision-making to every role I take on.

I am fluent in both English and Swahili (C2), and I thrive in environments that demand precision, discretion, and a strong foundation in political economy and institutional systems.
