From Dreams to Action - My Journey

There comes a time when one must stop saying and start doing. For too long, I kept saying I wanted to achieve something, but life kept getting in the way - or so I believed.
I’m an unemployed graduate with a background in software engineering. From a young age, I envisioned education as my escape from a turbulent home. Growing up in a household marred by emotional and physical abuse, I learned to find peace in books. My father’s alcoholism cast a long shadow over our family, and I watched my mother fight silently through exhaustion, hunger, and pain. In those moments, I made a decision: education would be my way out.
I worked hard, earned a spot in a respected high school, and was blessed to receive sponsorship from 410 Bridge, a U.S.-based organization that supports underprivileged students. Later, I passed my KCSE exams with excellent results and secured admission to Moi University to study a Bachelor of Science in Informatics - a field that combined my love for science and problem-solving.
At university, I was known for excelling in practicals and complex content. Research became my escape, and the lab - with its free internet -became my second home. I dreamed of building a freelance profile, becoming independent, and growing as a tech professional. But life had another twist: I graduated while pregnant, and my priorities shifted.
Motherhood brought both joy and challenge. Without stable income or support for childcare, my plans stumbled. I turned to academic freelancing to earn what I could, but something inside me kept whispering: You’re meant for more.
Now, I am choosing to act.
With experience in web development, programming, and IT, I’m transitioning into technical writing - a field that blends my technical skills with my growing passion for clear communication. I no longer just want to say, “I will do this.” I’m doing it. One article, one project, one opportunity at a time.
