I am the last born in a family of three girls. I was born and raised in Simbara village, Shamata ward, Nyandarua County. I am a Bachelor of Economics graduate from University of Nairobi with a First-Class Honours.
I am also a certified public accountant in Kenya (CPAK) and I am currently pursuing an MBA in Project Management at Kenyatta University. I am the 10X Coverage and Out of Stock Lead for Africa Operating unit, at The Coca-Cola Company.

In my current role, I am responsible to quantum leap the combined coverage availability of our portfolio in the marketplace, through commercial programs, customer relationship engagement, and consistent supply chain fulfilment, driving high numeric distribution, which generates high share of visible inventory and outlet coverage, and therefore, increased market share.

My current job gives me a lot of exposure as I get to work and interact with people from different countries and cultures- an example, my first manager was a Mexican based in Kenya, while my current manager is based in Nigeria.

My teammates are also spread throughout Africa; therefore, we work in a networked manner. I attribute my current success to various stakeholders, including Co-operative Bank Foundation. When I sat for my KCPE in 2009, my parents could not afford to pay for my secondary school education, because their resources had been exhausted in efforts to educate my 2 elder siblings. My mother was a member of a Sacco and she managed to get me the Co-operative Bank Foundation scholarship via the Sacco.

The Foundation paid fully for my secondary school education. I managed to pass well in my KCSE and the Foundation further offered me a scholarship for my university education after being amongst the top 28 beneficiaries across the regions (now 56). In addition, they provided me with internship opportunities throughout my campus studies.

The internships enabled me to acquire the work experience that boosted my CV.
This made it easier for me to get other job opportunities. I am grateful to The Co-operative Bank Foundation for all their support and for enabling me to realise my educational and career goals.
