My story in brief
My public service is rooted in education and community leadership. I spent decades working with learners, teachers, and parents, then transitioned into elected leadership to strengthen service delivery and accountability.
- Education leadership: School administration and learning support, including building stronger learning environments and coordinated leadership with boards and parents.
- Teacher representation: Experience working with educators through union leadership and stakeholder engagement.
- County leadership: Served as MCA, linking community priorities to county service delivery and policy decisions.
Public leadership experience
As an MCA, my work centered on oversight, listening to residents, and pushing practical delivery over headlines. Committee work sharpened my focus on systems: budgeting, early education, and vocational pathways.
- Budget & Appropriations: Oversight mindset — planning, accountability, and value for money.
- ECDE & Vocational: Support for learning materials, classrooms, workshops/hostels, and bursary support for vulnerable learners.
- Inter-county collaboration: Experience engaging across counties through county assemblies networks and forums.
What I stand for
Leadership should reduce harm, expand opportunity, and make public services easier to access. My focus areas are simple, measurable, and people-first.
Safety and dignity
Stronger community protection and prevention efforts around GBV, with a culture of respect and safe reporting.
Youth opportunity
Practical skills pathways, mentorship, and support that connect training to livelihoods and real income activity.
PWD inclusion
Inclusion that is visible in planning, access, and delivery — not only in speeches.
Accountable service delivery
Transparent priorities, responsible budgeting, and follow-through, with citizens treated as partners, not an audience.
Education and languages
I value learning as a lifelong discipline — not just a credential. My academic and professional training strengthens delivery, planning, and communication.
- University of Nairobi: Master’s studies in Distance Education; Bachelor of Education (Arts).
