About
I earned a Bachelors of Business Administration in Economics with a minor in Accounting form Mercer University and later went on to pursue a Master degree in Finance (MBA-Finance) from United States International University.
My career began in data preparations which developed into a Research assistant position. Since then I have worked as an Accountant, Accountant/ Economist and Administrator and as an Auditor. I have worked for organisations such as the Kenya Finland Forestry Program, Business and Economics Research Co. Ltd, Veterinaries without Borders and the African union.
I aspire to earn a Ms in Economics with a concentration in Data science which I will use to carry out research that leads to policies that will foster sustainable global development and peace.
