More so, am accustomed to fast-paced, high-pressured positions, demonstrated ability to set priorities deliver qualitative output, prioritize multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and provide quality service.

Travelling

Travelling has been one of my best hobbies which led me to taking the course in Travel and Tourism. I have traveled across my country in different area and am looking forward to traveling outside Kenya in search for new opportunities, which do not necessarily have to be related with what I studied.

Farming

I also love farming and have grown up by the countryside where I practiced farming since I was 9 years. I have an experience and can handle general farm work such as poultry keeping and general animal keeping. I am also familiar with green house farming and irrigation which would be fun for me to practice.

Socializing

I love to meet new people learn more as it helps me sharpen memories and cognitive skills. People have ideas and interacting with them would help me learn how I can improve in various sectors
