About
I've led digital inclusion, education, and workforce readiness programs at eMobilis Technology Training Institute, reaching more than 360,000 youth and entrepreneurs across Kenya and East Africa.
As Corporate Trainings and Program Manager, I design and manage end-to-end training programs for organizations including CIPLA, APHRC, and Catholic Relief Services. I manage donor-funded budgets exceeding USD 77,760 and build partnerships that create internships, placements, and hands-on learning opportunities.
Previously, I coordinated the Google Digital Skills Program across East Africa, supporting 30+ trainers and helping eMobilis earn Best Partner recognition twice. I also designed programs including MobiGirlz and GIZ's Digital Accelerator, expanding access to STEM and Android development training.
I'm PMP-certified and bring practical strength in program delivery, stakeholder engagement, reporting, training facilitation, and continuous improvement. I enjoy connecting governments, NGOs, corporates, and educational institutions to deliver measurable learning outcomes.
