Role, Title, Description

Administrative assistant & V-connect community manager – Developing processes and systems that support continuous, effective operations at Vizazi while continuously engaging with Vizazi’s clients, strategic partners and community at large.

Background

I have worked with Vizazi for the past 4 years in the role of administrative assistant and V-connect community manager.

Previously, I worked as a program officer implementing peace-building and social healing programs in Nairobi, the Kenyan Coast and South Sudan.

In the last 2 years, next to working with Vizazi, I have also opened and run my independent private practice – Duara Wellness where I offer individual therapy and mental wellness training for adults (18-35 years old), people in creative fields, entrepreneurs and young professionals.

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about all-rounded personal growth and empowering youth with information, skills and opportunities to thrive in life and build a social and economic environment that facilitates the same for coming generations.

Why Vizazi?

I feel like Vizazi is an organisation with which I share values and have an aligned vision with. Vizazi provides me with an opportunity to develop professionally in the mental health space and more importantly gives me time and space to grow personally as I figure out how to integrate my passion, skills and interests to best serve the youth I look to support, inspire and empower.

How do I want to make a difference in Vizazi

I look to streamline internal processes and facilitate effective delivery of Vizazi’s counselling and training services. By working closely with the Vizazi Team and our partners I look to enhance the impact of our social programs and further develop them so they effectively serve the personal and social needs of youth in Kenya who are the bridge between generations.
