GPA (percentage): 70%

While pursuing a Diploma in Social Work and Community Development at Meru National Polytechnic, I successfully completed my studies with a Credit, demonstrating strong academic commitment and understanding of social development concepts. I also undertook a research project on community safeguarding and the effects of drug abuse, where I explored how drug abuse affects individuals, families, and community wellbeing, and proposed community-based prevention and support strategies. In addition, I served as a student leader, where I represented the interests of fellow students, promoted student engagement in community development activities, and helped coordinate initiatives that encouraged responsible behavior and social awareness among students. These experiences strengthened my leadership, research, communication, and community mobilization skills, which continue to support my work in social services and community development.
