Joined EMI April 2025Professional Training & Experience
After graduating with a degree in Civil Engineering in 2021, I began my professional journey with a formative training experience at Continuum Engineering, where I refined my understanding of civil engineering principles in a real-world context. This foundation prepared me for a role as a draughtsman at Kaizen Africa Limited, where I translated complex engineering concepts into accurate technical drawings, contributing to various impactful projects.
Driven by a passion for hands-on execution, I joined Birime Construction Company as a site agent, overseeing daily construction activities and ensuring quality control on site. My interest in design later led me to EMI (Engineering Ministries International), where I worked as a civil design intern, engaging in purposeful engineering that served communities. After my internship, I returned to Birime Construction Company, bringing back deeper design insights to my role as a site agent.
Ministry Experience
My roots in Christianity have played a pivotal role in shaping my leadership and integrity. I served as a church leader during my high school years, where I learned the value of service, responsibility, and community. This foundation followed me into university, where I served as a class representative—balancing academics with advocacy, organization, and peer support.
Family
I am the second last born in a family of six, i grew up in a christian home where faith was part of everyday life. As a family, we attended both the Anglican and Catholic churches as my father was a Catholic and Mother is an Anglican - now a born again christian. Our parents made it a point to raise us with strong roots in Christ. They didn’t just talk about faith-they lived it out through love, consistency, and a deep sense of purpose. That environment taught me early on the value of integrity, service, and trusting God in all things.
One of the biggest blessings in my life has been my sister, Angella. She’s always had my back, through every high and low. Whether I was chasing a dream, struggling with a decision, or just trying to figure things out, she was there—supportive, honest, and never too far away to lend a hand or a listening ear. Her presence has been a steady reminder of the strength that comes from family, and the kind of loyalty that doesn’t need to be loud to be deeply felt.
Growing up in that kind of home—with faith at the center and love all around—shaped not just my character, but my purpose. It’s a foundation I still stand on today.
