Summary

A resilient and adaptable career consultant with a deep passion for education and global career development. With extensive experience in career consultancy, recruitment coordination, and study and work abroad programs, I have empowered individuals to achieve their aspirations on an international scale. My role at Chris-Ryan International Pathways involves crafting personalized strategies that guide clients toward success in global career landscapes.

My professional journey includes managing UK qualifications at the British Council, where I gained expertise in international educational standards, and teaching English, which honed my skills in curriculum development and effective communication. These experiences shaped my client-focused approach to career planning and inspired my vision of fostering long-term change in Kenya through the establishment of international training institutes.

By introducing world-class education and vocational training, my goal is to bridge the gap between local talent and global opportunities, attract foreign investment, and contribute to sustainable economic growth. Pursuing further studies at the London School of Economics will enable me to refine my strategies, gain advanced knowledge, and amplify my impact in transforming lives and shaping futures on a global stage.
