MY STORY

There is a reason I care about useful work.

My career has taken me through remote project coordination, business, NGO operations, cloud computing, and AI automation. But the thread connecting those experiences is simple: I like being useful.

I'm someone who has always been curious about how things work and how I can make myself useful.

Since 2018, I've worked remotely with international clients, coordinating projects, deadlines, deliverables, communication, and distributed teams across different countries and time zones. Along the way, I've also gained experience through business and NGO operations, including work supporting humanitarian activities.

I grew up in a community where, although my own family could afford what we needed, I was surrounded by people who struggled to afford even basic necessities. That experience stayed with me. It shaped my interest in humanitarian work and in finding practical ways to support people and communities.

I have tried to act on that interest through my work with Amani International Organization Corporation, an Italian cooperation organization operating in Kenya. I supplied foodstuffs, sanitary products, toiletries, and other essential supplies to stations supporting children in need.

I also established Bizify Enterprises Limited with the intention of providing services and supplies to organizations, particularly NGOs involved in humanitarian activities.

"For me, business has never been only about making a living. I have wanted to build something that can also be useful."

I also have a genuine love and care for animals. That is one reason work connected to animal protection feels personally meaningful to me. I value the idea that the work I do behind the scenes can help an organization pursue a mission that matters.

But my career has never been limited to one area. I chose, on purpose, to keep learning and building skills that complement the way I work. I spent 13 months studying Data Science with ALX, then 8 months studying AWS Cloud and Solutions Architecture, and in 2026 I completed the ALX Virtual Assistant program along with a Virtual Assistant training bootcamp with Virtually Versed Africa. Each one added something real: how I think about data and problem solving, how I understand cloud infrastructure and systems, and how I show up on the administrative, executive support, and client service side of the work.

More recently, I've been bringing these different areas together through AI automation and workflow optimization, looking closely at how technology can simplify repetitive work while still keeping the human judgment that good operations need.

Today, that combination is what I bring to my work as an Executive Virtual Assistant | AI Automation & Operations. I can support the work itself: inboxes, calendars, projects, coordination, research, follow ups. And I can also step back and look at the systems behind that work, asking whether it could be simpler, better organized, or partly automated. That is the kind of support I want to give: practical, reliable, thoughtful, and always improving.

HOW I WORK

Simple principles.

I am not trying to make work look complicated. I am trying to make it easier to understand and easier to move.

01

Understand first

I start by understanding how the work actually happens before suggesting a new tool, process, or automation.

02

Keep people in control

Automation should remove repetition, not remove human judgment from decisions that need it.

03

Follow through

A good system is useful only when important actions remain visible, ownership is clear, and things actually get completed.

THE WORKFLOW

Identify the problem.
Improve the system.

WHERE I'M GOING

Building the next chapter.

Today, I am bringing my experience in remote project coordination, business and NGO operations, technology, and cloud computing into executive support and AI automation.

I am continuing to build practical systems, workflows, and automations that solve real business problems. The direction is simple: support people well, improve the way work moves, and use technology where it genuinely makes a difference.
