With roots in Kenya and a long-term residence in the USA, I possess a distinctive perspective shaped by diverse cultural influences and experience teaching in Kenya and the USA. with my unique blend of cultural and classroom experience, I advocate for a balanced inclusive curriculum where all learners can benefit from learning about African culture.

I use my teaching experience and methodology to mentor and teach both rural school girls and women much needed literacy skills in hygiene and sanitation as well as literacy in finance for sustainability. I use non-traditional methods of table banking and merry-go-round and later helps students transition into formal banking networks.

I am an advocate for good drinking water available in each home which will remove the burden of girls and women forced into walking long distances to fetch water. My goal is for each family to have a well (borehole in Kenya) so girls and women can be free to focus on their personal advancement. I also advocate for solar projects to provide irrigation and lighting in homes.

My greatest achievement is through the individualized mentorship approach model. I am capable of identifying each family’s needs and the underlying causes of their situation and strategically planning how to approach their problems. Projects accomplished through my own personal donations demonstrate a model for future project initiatives.

I am continuing to work on my personal goal of writing and becoming a published children’s book author. I aspire to publish books with a focus on traditional African folklore.
