About Me

Hello

WELCOME

I am a proactive Education specialist passionate about working with Humanitarian organizations and using my skills and experience to contribute towards ensuring the success of programs and projects that involve children with neurodevelopmental disorders i.e. children with Autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, dyslexia etc. and I have also served with such children for over 15 years as a pastor.

The positions I have held have seen me grow my skill-set and improve my ability to handle diverse roles. Led by my strong problem solving and organizational skills, I have established a unique ability to steadfastly manage duties and responsibilities pertinent to the growth of a company.

Moreover, as an enthusiastic problem-solver with exceptional decision-making skills to rapidly assess diverse
situational challenges, I have successfully developed and
implemented action plans, which have seen the  implementation of different policies, and strategies.

EXPERTISE
CONSULTANCY/TRAINING

I am a highly capable change- agent who has successfully contributed to positive change in student discipline, holistic formation, and enrollment in all the institutions I have worked. The experience I have gained puts me on the map as an expert who excels in coordinating programs and projects. I seek to work with organizations where my skills and experience will contribute to improving the lives of the vulnerable children.
