About

With a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition Health and Dietetics from Kenyatta University, I have built a diverse career across customer service, sales, and administrative roles. My journey began as a Receptionist at Kentra Travel and Tours, where I honed my organizational skills. I then transitioned to Biashara Sacco Society Limited as a Customer Care Representative, managing customer accounts and enhancing service delivery. At OnQ Kenya, I advanced to Associate Supervisor, overseeing customer service operations and developing team policies. Currently, I serve as a Customer Service Representative at OnQ, ensuring customer satisfaction through effective communication. My role as a Sales Activator and Promoter at Yellow Moon Company further developed my ability to identify leads and strategize for growth. My career is marked by a commitment to improving customer experiences and driving business success through strategic initiatives and exceptional service.
