Hi, I’m
Kagure Kariuki
Financial Economist
Nairobi
Summary
I am a 27-year-old Kenyan lady who has high expectations for my results. I am confident in my ability to produce, and while I prepare for the worst, I do the work necessary to tilt the odds so that the best will happen. I’m not an individual who needs to be micro-managed. Rather, when given a specific task, I can figure out the best ways to solve the problem in an autonomous manner.
