My interest in belonging is rooted in lived experience. I spent my childhood across three countries, have pursued education on three continents, and have built a professional life that spans multiple regions, navigating different cultures, institutions, and worldviews. These experiences shaped my curiosity about how people find their place within communities and organisations and negotiate identity, difference, voice and dignity in institutional life. They also deepened my curiosity about the conditions that leaders foster to ensure that people feel  included and contribute with dignity while remaining fully themselves. That question shapes much of my work.

I have worked with Reuters Television, the Voice of America, and the BBC, and upon my return to Kenya, hosted the country’s leading current affairs talk show on Citizen TV. After years working in public-facing, high-pressure environments as a journalist, I found myself confronting the cost of my chosen career path and burned out. Coaching became a space where I could pause, listen inward, and recover a sense of clarity about the work I wanted to do and the values I wanted to live by.

That experience reshaped my professional path.
