I spent my early years in Nairobi and moved to Toronto for university. That shift — between two very different cities, systems, and ways of seeing — gave me a useful habit: looking for what connects things that seem unrelated. I'm drawn to problems that sit at the edges of disciplines, where the interesting work actually happens.
About
I grew up in Nairobi, went to school in Kenya, and eventually landed at the University of Toronto to study Environmental Science. That path sounds linear on paper. It wasn't. Along the way I picked up a deep interest in how systems work: ecosystems, supply chains, communities, markets. The specific domain matters less to me than the quality of the question.
My scientific training gave me a framework for dealing with complexity and uncertainty — how to gather evidence, hold a hypothesis lightly, and know when the data is telling you something unexpected. Sport and volunteering added something the classroom couldn't: the ability to read a situation from the inside, to work within broken systems and care about fixing them. That combination turns out to be more useful than any single discipline alone.
I'm graduating with a BSc in June 2026, but I don't think of that as a destination. The degree is one layer of how I think, not a ceiling. The problems I find most compelling sit at the intersection of data, strategy, and real-world impact: climate solutions, financial systems, operational efficiency, public sector gaps. If there's structure to a problem and stakes attached to getting it right, I want to be in the room.
I'm not trying to label what I do too precisely. The honest answer is that I'm someone who figures things out, builds things that work, and cares about the outcome.
Final-year BSc Environmental Science, Minor in Economics — University of Toronto Mississauga. Graduating June 2026.
Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. Studied at the University of Toronto Mississauga.
Sport, music, art, dance, history, geopolitics, trading.
Climate technology, ESG consulting, financial analysis, data & strategy roles, and conversations I haven't imagined yet.
Projects
Built a custom object-detection model to automate camera trap review across a 14 km wildlife corridor. 5,000+ annotations, 13 species classes, 293 images processed in minutes. Final model: 99.5% mAP@50, 100% recall.
Identified prey species from lion and hyena scat under the head of predator research. Developed a species identification decision tree, photographic hair reference library, and refined microscopy protocols for quarterly predation reports.
Assigned to update Lewa's lion population database and generate a multi-generational family tree. Updated Excel records tracking 4 generations of lions across the pride, then used RStudio to produce a visualised lineage from the cleaned data.
Solo restoration proposal for a 44,900 m² site along Sheridan Creek at Clarkson GO Station. Two-phase plan to improve species connectivity, with full adaptive management framework and risk assessment. Fieldwork conducted on-site.
Studied how dissolved oxygen levels recover in the UTM natural pond following summer rain events. Measurements across four sites at multiple depths, analysing stratification patterns, runoff, and eutrophication impacts on aquatic habitat.
Collaborators
A few of the places I've had the chance to contribute to — across conservation, community, agribusiness, and research.
More collaborators coming soon — currently seeking consent to share.
Contact
Open to roles, projects, and conversations — in climate tech, ESG, data strategy, financial analysis, and anything in between. Based in Mississauga. Available from June 2026.
