Public Relations professional with an MBA in Strategic Management. I am an aspiring human rights lawyer (currently studying LAW). An African development and Social Justice advocate at an International Non-Profit. I'm also a 2 Cohort Mentor at the YALI EAST AFRICA REGIONAL LEADERSHIP CENTER.

I have extensive professional management experience in the public and private sectors - from telecommunications to fintech, and financial planning, to sustainability and the climate crisis (advocacy around the globe on mitigation and adaptation). I have been engaged in community, and media relations; strategic communications; events and communications planning; issues and crisis management; philanthropy and cause-related advocacy; marketing -niche and online promotion; and social media and website content management.

Passionate about social needs, I'm active with a number of nonprofit organizations over the years providing communication and public relations counsel and assistance to the Safe Girls for Change, and Volunteers With Passion (VWP).

An avid reader of anything that picks my brain. I appreciate art and culture from a place of ignorance.

I'm a YOGA enthusiast- this is what relaxes me on a busy day.
