I am writing to provide a concise overview of my profile as a Civil Engineer, detailing my expertise, interests, and experience in the field.
Expertise: As a Civil Engineer, my expertise lies in a wide array of areas within the discipline. I have a strong foundation in structural engineering, transportation engineering, environmental engineering, and geotechnical engineering. My proficiency extends to designing and overseeing the construction of various infrastructural projects, ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.
Interests: My passion for civil engineering extends beyond the professional sphere. I am deeply interested in sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in the construction industry. Exploring innovative technologies and techniques to minimize the environmental impact of projects is a priority for me. Additionally, I am keen on staying updated with the latest advancements in the field to enhance my knowledge and skills continually.
Experience: Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on diverse projects, ranging from residential and commercial buildings to transportation networks and environmental projects. I have been involved in project planning, design, implementation, and management, gaining valuable experience in team coordination, budget management, and client satisfaction. Moreover, I have a track record of successfully leading teams to deliver projects on time and within budget while adhering to quality standards.
I am an environmentalist with five years of experience in biodiversity conservation and wildlife management. The pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology marked a monumental step in shaping my professional journey in conservation. In 2019, I co-founded Kang4Nature, a volunteer youth group dedicated to executing environmental restoration projects in Nairobi, Kenya. This initiative showcased my leadership potential and eventually led me to assume the role of Programs Manager at CHD Conservation Kenya a grassroots organization committed to fostering public engagement in conservation through education and awareness programs, citizen research, and sustainable enterprise development. In this capacity, I have refined my skills in various areas, including curriculum development for youth engagement in conservation, promoting diversity and inclusion of indigenous women and girls in rangelands, stakeholder engagement, partnership cultivation, and fundraising. My commitment to leadership growth led me to participate in the Women in Conservation Leadership fellowship offered by the Centre for Protected Area Management at Colorado State University and the Project Management in Global Health program offered by the University of Washington. These experiences, along with my recent accomplishment of attaining a Master of Philosophy in Conservation Leadership from the University of Cambridge, have contributed significantly to my skill set. While studying at the University of Cambridge, I collaborated with Fauna & Flora, an international conservation organization. My role involved developing guiding recommendations to promote gender-transformative approaches within the conservation sector. Additionally, I provided consulting services to UNEP-WCMC, where I focused on devising innovative strategies to turning complex National Ecosystem Assessment (NEA) reports into impactful Summary for Policy Markers (SPMs). My journey reflects a blend of academic rigor, hands-on experience, and a profound commitment to driving positive change in conservation.

I'm a coral reef ecologist who's left academia and now runs a video production company in London. Our work spans films of all kinds but our main passion and focus is in creating documentary film and meaningful visual stories for charities, projects and people that are trying to make the world a better place. We've spent the last 5 years working on some amazing projects from a BBC World documentary following the miraculous recovery of an 80 year old explorer from COVID, who then went on to climb Cornwall's largest mountain. More recent projects include a week long trip to the mountains of Portugal where we were following the work of a local NGO who's fighting the rising wildfires through the planting of native woodland and trees. I'm open to speaking with and collaborating on projects across the world to use our skills to help tell stories that matter.
