About

I serve as an Adjunct Lecturer in the Department of Theology and Pastoral Studies. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Science from Daystar University and a Master of Divinity in Biblical Studies from Africa International University. Currently, I am pursuing my doctorate in Practical Theology.

With over a decade of experience in higher education and pastoral ministry, my teaching and research interests lie at the intersection of Scripture engagement, Christian formation, discipleship, World Christianity, and contemporary African Christianity. My current work explores how Scripture shapes Christian identity, belonging, and transformational community formation within the changing postcolonial intellectual and social contexts in Africa.

I am an ordained minister with PEFA Churches Kenya and have more than 10 years of ministry experience.
