About

I have a wealth of experience in accounting, having worked in the Finance Department for ten years. In addition, for the last twelve years, I have been able to rise through the academics ranks from Graduate Assistant to a Senior Lecturer. During those years, I was involved in the development and review of Commerce programmes and coordinated international field trips for Commerce students (undergraduate and postgraduate) to over ten countries (from Asia Continent, Europe Continent and to the U.S.A).

I was the first African (Literary from Africa) professor to be recruited at Hannam University in the College of Business and Economics based at South Korea. I had an opportunity to teach and do research in Accounting � International Financial Reporting Standards. Hence, developed excellent interpersonal relationships skills and ability to adapt in changing environments both locally and abroad.

I also started an International English Fellowship at Suwon Yuljeon Church for four years. In 2016 I got appointed to be the Deputy Director, Center for Quality Assurance where I was involved with quality matters of the University by coordinating the �Matiangi�s quality audit of Universities in January 2017 as well as University re-inspection in 2018. Currently, I am coordinating the University wide internal quality Assurance processes.

I am a member of IFRS � Academic Educational initiative; a member of Association for faculty Enrichment in Learning and Teaching (AFLET), Chairman of Health and Safety Committee; a member of Curriculum Development and Review Committee and a member of Kenyan Universities Quality Assurance Network (KuQAN).
