About

I have been working in language education since 1986. I have taught English language and literature in various secondary schools, colleges, and universities in Kenya and the United Kingdom.

I moved to Daystar University in 2011, where I have continued to teach Linguistics courses. Since 2014, I have been the examination officer in the department. I have also served as a resident tutor in charge of Grace Hostel, and I am currently the Associate Dean of Residence Services. 

I possess excellent skills in communication, teaching and learning, interpersonal relations, organisational management, research, counselling, and planning. I have a strong work ethic; I am dependable, honest, confident, a team player, and I maintain a positive attitude.

I am a member of the Christian and Scientific Association of Kenya
