My education which qualifies me for this job include:  a Masters degree (M.P.A.) in Public Administration and Urban Planning from Portland State University (PSU). I earned my Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) also at PSU.

My professional affiliations include a past membership in the World Affairs Council of Oregon for quite a long time. I have also belonged to the United Nations Oregon Chapter to discuss United Nations issues for two years in a row. These experiences have helped inform my interest and qualifications to serve in a political capacity in Kenya, and especially because I am Kenyan originally from Bungoma County.
