About

Professional summary

I am a results-driven Public Relations and Communication professional based in Nairobi, Kenya, with experience in government communication, media relations, digital content development, and stakeholder engagement.

I translate complex public programmes into clear, compelling narratives that improve institutional visibility, public awareness, and stakeholder trust. My work includes drafting speeches, talking points, press releases, media briefs, and official communication materials.

In my role as a Public Communication Intern at the State Department for Irrigation, I support strategic communications for national development priorities, including Vision 2030. I also provide event and field-mission photography and videography support.

A key achievement was authoring a feature article on the digitization of the National Irrigation Sector Investment Plan Management Information System, published by the Kenya News Agency and featured on the front page of MyGov Newspaper in December 2025.

Previously, I served as Head Intern in the Culture and Arts Division at the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Arts, where I led and mentored interns, represented the ministry at national events, and supported digital engagement initiatives that increased online interaction by 200 percent.

I am seeking a Public Relations or Communications role where I can apply my government communications, media engagement, storytelling, public affairs, and digital content skills to deliver meaningful institutional impact.
