My Story, Job Experience & Qualification
My passion for digital transformation did not begin with COVID-19. It was built on years of experience in education and training, having taught and trained learners in colleges and institutions of higher learning, including university-level teaching. Education was already a significant part of who I was, and I genuinely enjoyed helping people understand new concepts, develop skills and discover their potential.
However, before the pandemic, I had not yet fully embraced the transformative possibilities of digital technology in the way I do today.
Then came 2020. Like many educators and professionals around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the way I worked, taught and interacted with people. Rather than seeing the disruption only as a challenge, I saw an opportunity to reinvent myself and expand my understanding of technology.
My digital transformation journey accelerated when I began taking GCF self-paced courses. What started as a simple desire to learn and adapt soon became a deeper commitment to understanding the digital world. I went on to complete key programmes with the eMarketing Institute, Google Digital Skills for Africa, and the Ajira Digital Program, under the Ministry of ICT and Digital Economy, in partnership with Cisco Networking Academy.
These opportunities gave me more than new knowledge; they strengthened my confidence and opened my mind to new possibilities.
My growing digital skills soon created new opportunities. I applied for a Digital Marketing Trainer role with Corporate Staffing Services, performed well in the interview and was hired in late 2021 to deliver online digital marketing training.
For me, this was more than simply taking on a new role. It brought together two worlds I had been building over the years — my experience as an educator and trainer, and my growing passion for digital technology. Online training challenged me to take what I knew and make it practical, accessible and relevant in a digital environment. It sharpened my technical abilities, strengthened my teaching approach and showed me how technology could create new opportunities for individuals and businesses.
Most importantly, this journey helped me discover something deeper about my purpose. I realised that I was not simply interested in technology; I was passionate about using technology to help people transform.
That realisation has continued to shape my work across technology training, digital transformation, technology development, digital marketing and mentorship. Today, I work with learners, young people, professionals and entrepreneurs, helping them develop practical skills, build confidence, understand technology and use it to create solutions and opportunities.
I believe technology should not simply be something people consume; it should be something they understand, create with, build with and use to solve real-world problems.
That belief is at the heart of what I do today:
Train. Mentor. Build. Empower.
I train people in practical digital and technology skills, mentor them as they navigate an increasingly digital world, build digital solutions and learning experiences that turn ideas into practical outcomes, and empower people to become more confident, capable and future-ready.
What began as a teaching career evolved into a digital transformation journey — and that journey continues.
Past Job Experience
Driven by a deep passion for knowledge-sharing and digital transformation, I bring over 10 years of diverse experience in IT training, academic instruction, and higher education administration. I believe education has the power to uplift lives, guided by my life philosophy: true greatness is found in serving others.
My teaching & training journey began in notable institutions including:
At these institutions, I delivered ICT and Information Technology courses examined by JKUAT, KNEC, and KASNEB. My commitment to excellence in instruction laid a strong foundation for countless students’ success.
Most recently, I served at Mount Kenya University, across the Kakamega and Mombasa Campuses, where I wore multiple hats—not only as a tutor for ICT and IT-related courses, but also as a key administrator. My roles included:
-
Assistant Registrar – School of Computing and Informatics
-
Assistant Registrar – Student Recruitment and Admissions
These roles deepened my impact in shaping academic systems and mentoring the next generation of tech talent. I remain committed to using my experience to empower learners and institutions in today’s digital age.
Academic Qualification
I began my academic journey at St. Paul’s Primary School, Ejinja in Matungu, Kakamega County, where I built a strong foundation that shaped my love for learning. After excelling in KCPE, I joined the prestigious Booker Academy,Kakamega County for my Secondary School education, an environment that further strengthened my academic discipline and curiosity in technology.
I later advanced to Maseno University and Moi University, where I pursued my university studies, majoring in Information Technology.
This continuous academic progression reflects my commitment to lifelong learning and staying ahead in the ever-evolving tech landscape.

This experience deepened my capacity to uphold academic quality, lead audit teams, and foster institutional excellence through quality assurance practices.
These learning experiences have empowered me to design and deliver high-impact training that is practical, human-centered, and results-driven.
With a strong foundation in both technical expertise and adult education, I remain deeply committed to equipping learners, professionals, and institutions with the tools they need to thrive in today’s digital-first world.
