Summary

I’m a people-focused professional with a background in insurance and education, bringing strong communication skills and a genuine desire to help others into every role. I've worked at State Farm helping clients navigate important life decisions, and as an English tutor, I've supported students in reaching their goals through flexible, one-on-one teaching. Outside of work, I'm an ambassador for Hope Achievers Kenya, where I focus on fundraising and managing their social media presence. My passion for mental health, psychology, and nonprofit work motivates me to keep learning and finding new ways to make a difference.
