Graduation: September 2024

During my undergraduate studies at the University of Nairobi, I pursued a double major in Psychology and Political Science, developing a comprehensive understanding of both fields. My coursework encompassed a variety of subjects, including Cognitive Psychology, where I explored the mental processes underlying human behavior; Political Theory, which provided me with a deep understanding of political ideologies and philosophies; and Research Methods, equipping me with essential skills in designing and conducting research studies. Additionally, courses in International Relations and Comparative Politics broadened my perspective on global political systems and their interactions, while Developmental Psychology offered insights into the psychological growth and changes throughout the human lifespan.

At Georgia Computers, I undertook comprehensive training in both computer packages and graphic design, equipping myself with essential technical skills and creative capabilities. The computer packages curriculum covered a broad range of software applications fundamental to modern office environments, including advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access), email management systems, and basic internet operations.

In the graphic design segment of the program, I gained hands-on experience with industry-standard design software such as Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). The training focused on key aspects of graphic design, including typography, color theory, layout design, and digital illustration. Through practical projects, I developed the ability to create visually appealing and effective graphic materials for various purposes, from marketing collateral to web design.

This education provided me with a solid foundation in both essential computer applications and creative design principles, preparing me to effectively utilize technology in a variety of professional contexts.
