I was born in the village (Central Kenya) and that beautiful village is where my writing and teaching journey started. Creative writing ideas flooded my mind every time I turned around. I wrote my first poem when I was 1, after my grandfather died in a valley and I called it "The Valley of Death". But all the ideas disappeared when we moved to Nairobi. I was in 5th grade and I didn't know what to write about anymore. Around me were just tall buildings, and honestly speaking, they had no role in my story lines! After I was through with college, I wrote stories and poems. Then alas , it was time to share my skills with other people (Kids and adults)and mold them to become Authors, Poets and anything in creative world they would want to become. When not teaching or writing, I babysit.

My mission

I want the students to choose what they want to do, to listen to their inner voice; that push that will make them see the potential that is in them and being courageous enough to choose a path they will enjoy walking on, now and in the future.

My Story

Well, when I was ten, I knew I wanted to be a writer or a journalist. I wanted to write or read news. I wanted to have people listen to me, but as years passed, I changed because my family figured I was a better teacher than a journalist! I surprised everyone when I went to college and did Hospitality but one thing I didn't stop, is writing. I published my first book back in 2017 and immediately after, I started teaching creative writing to 5th to 8th grade students. In 2020, I resigned from hotel industry to concentrate fully on what I love doing most, and now, I teach creative writing and write full time.

Cognitive Diversity

How I adapt to students with diverse intellectual needs.

Yes I do. I have worked with gifted children. They are from another planet, you just want to be around them! Beautiful kids who aspire to become leaders,artists, name them, and they even demonstrate those skills naturally!

I think so, this is because they require more understanding and patience, which is what makes my teaching fun. I'm a very patient person, when it comes to my students.

I'm a great fit because I was once a gifted kid, I stood out, with the help of my teachers and made something out of my uniqueness. I do that every day, I mentor students who are gifted.

Well, yes. My son is profoundly gifted. I see this boy do things that are way beyond his age. I tutor him sometimes and there are times he insists on being the teacher.

I do not have experience teaching kids with ADHD, but I believe with patience comes a lot of possibilities. So yes, I would not mind.

No experience, but they are equal to other kids just a little bit slow but I believe we can catch up and make something out of it.

Not a good fit. No experience at all.

Not a good fit.

Not a good fit.
