Offering a FREE 15-MINUTES INTRO SESSION to all new students!
Hello and Welcome!
I am an upcoming Infection Biologist with a Masters in Immunology.
I would like to help you understand how pathogens make us ill and how our bodies are equipped to fight such invaders.
Some of these concepts can be confusing for new learners.
However, I aim to keep our lessons visual and less theoretical.
We will learn together by asking questions and looking for answers.
The objective is to apply a problem-based learning approach to ensure maximum comprehension and retention of content.
Please send me a message to book a session.
I look forward to seeing you in class!

2019 - 2021Master of Science, Immunology
For my MSc thesis; I engineered Fc modified malaria specific monoclonal antibodies with enhanced immune potency.
I acquired various skills in molecular biology including plasmid cloning, protein expression, purification and characterization. I trained on parasite and cell culture, ELISA, Flow cytometry and Statistics.
I also participated in teaching undergraduate students in good research practices including scientific writing and communication.
University of Nairobi
2014 - 2018Bachelor of Science, Microbiology and Biotechnology
My undergraduate project was on isolation and characterization of fecal coliform bacteria on Catha edulis (Miraa/Khat) leaves.
I isolated Gram +ve and -ve bacteria from leaves sampled directly from the farm and retail kiosks.
I saw a significant bacterial load on leaves sampled from retail kiosks compared to those sampled from the farm.
During this time, I did voluntary work on diabetes awareness and did an internship at Kenya Medical Research Institute.
