I was born and grew up in Nairobi, Kenya. I have one brother. I come from a Christian family. I completed my undergraduate program in International Studies and Community Development in 2018 and thereafter got a job with an international NGO based in Nairobi, International Justice Mission. Although my 40-hour workweek keeps me busy, I find time to indulge in things I like. I enjoy baking, watching Christmas movies (Christmas happens to be my favorite time of the year), and blogging (I run a personal blog known as Writing Escapades which focuses on social issues, life as a millennial). 

I appreciate that UniAthena has an accelerated MBA-GM program of nine months and that you can work around a very busy schedule, such as mine.

I believe this program will be beneficial in helping me grow in my career – I would like the opportunity to apply for other jobs either in my organization or outside. 

A great teacher first understands that each student has different learning capacities and capabilities – what takes one student to learn and grasp in five minutes can take another student half an hour to understand. Understanding and working with students from different learning capacities and capabilities makes a good teacher. 

A good teacher also ensures that students understand the concepts taught and presented. Various processes, namely, group discussions, critical thinking-based questions that relate to everyday situations, projects and others can be applied so that students comprehend what they are taught.

Running my own NGO / Non-profit organization that helps students from low-income families pursue higher education. It seems pretty ambitious for now, but I would love to help people achieve their dreams despite their socio-economic struggles. 

Zip-lining – it was scary but an adventure I will never forget. I mark it as a memorable one.

Opening presents on Christmas Day – nothing can explain the excitement on a child’s face holding a present.

Going to the beach – I live in a tropical country, so I love everything from sunshine, beach, and sand. It screams vacation to me.

I would like to be friends with Dr. Spencer Reid from the TV Series, Criminal Minds. 

Never give up – even if the situation presented is the most challenging one you have faced. Don’t give up because difficult situations in life make us stronger and shape us.
