About me

I'm a customer success and operations professional based in Nairobi. My background spans hospitality, customer service, administration and business operations, and I enjoy being the person who makes things work well behind the scenes.

I started in insurance sales and hotel front desks, spent two years welcoming guests at luxury safari camps in the Mara and Amboseli, and now oversee customer experience across three Handas Juice branches. Alongside that, I've spent a year supporting 22 apartments remotely at Deja Vu Homes, running the guest journey from booking to checkout.

People remember how you made them feel, especially when something goes wrong.

Skills

Experience

From front desks at safari camps to multi-branch customer success.
