About
I am an accomplished educationist with over 20 years� teaching experience at university level.
I conceived and founded department of the Peace and International Studies at Daystar in 2010. I developed and implemented the curriculum for BA in Peace and Conflict Transformation of Daystar University in 2008 making Daystar the first University in Kenya to offer a BA in Peace and Conflict Transformation.
I have strategically grown the number of faculty members from 1 to 25 and grown the Academic Programmes from One to Five including one diploma, two BA and one MA programme.
Under my leadership the department has grown from about 43 students in 2010 to over 1000 students accounting for 20 percent of the student population in 2019.
Additionally, I chair the Spiritual Nurture Committee (SNC) of the Senate which is responsible for the Spiritual Welfare of the University. I help initiate and guide Spiritual Nurture programmes for the Community.
Away from Daystar, I Chair the National Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Christian Chapels Kenya where I mentor young pastors, help them in the running of their local churches, as well as developing governance and accountability structures for the ministry in Kenya and beyond.
I am an associate member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators of Kenya
