My family and I have lived in Ontario, Canada for 26 years. In those years, I continue sharing knowledge and resources with diverse groups of Kenyan origin and other communities to promote wholistic health and wellbeing. My passion includes knowledge mobilization to create lasting impact with individuals and families. In this new role, I intend to continue doing what I have always done informally in a more formal capacity. I look forward to connecting with individuals and groups already involved in development programs and harness our efforts for the benefit of our community.
