About
I have worked as an English and Literature teacher in three schools in western Kenya. I also served as a campus staff based in University of Eldoret (formerly Moi University – Chepkoilel Campus) working under Fellowship of Christian Unions (FOCUS). During this period I engaged in mentoring and counseling college students and supporting the Christian Union leaders in planning and implementing functions of the Christian Union.
I have worked as trainer with St. John Ambulance in empowering institutional workers to handle and respond proactively during accidents or emergencies.
In my tenure as a graduate intern at Karen Community Church, I supervised junior interns, trained members on counselling within the local church, developed and reviewed several church policies. I also served as a church administrator in 2003/2004 and assisted in managing the affairs of the church including keeping finance records of the church and minutes of the Elders Court.
Between 2004 and 2018, I have served at Daystar University in different capacities. As a part time lecturer and later full time, I have been engaged in teaching various courses and mentoring students based on their varied needs. I have also served as an academic advisor for pre-university students, later Coordinator, Pre-university and currently assistant coordinator, Institute of Child Development. In these positions, I have been engaged in managing the affairs of the specific departments, mentoring students, supervising thesis, and providing all relevant leadership roles for these positions.
Based on these experiences, I have developed excellent teaching, workshop facilitation, curriculum development, research, report writing, management and communication skills with experience in office procedures. I am a team player who is multi-talented and committed to accomplish assigned tasks with minimum supervision. My training enables me to enhance integrative learning for students and also develop and nurture students holistically. Having facilitated several workshops, I have admirable training and facilitation skills.
