My Story

Kenyan by birth, romantic at heart.

I'm a communications consultant, ghostwriter and storyteller based in Nairobi. I hold a Master's degree in International Relations and Development — an accomplishment that mostly proves I can overthink both global politics and fictional relationships with equal commitment.

I love conversations. The kind that start with "how was your day?" and somehow end with childhood wounds, impossible dreams, and whether love is ever enough. That usually sounds a little too vulnerable coming from me directly, so I prefer to let my characters do the yearning on my behalf.

I enjoy silence just as much as I enjoy talking, believe very few problems can't be discussed over a good cup of coffee, and will almost always choose the window seat.

When I'm not writing, I'm helping other people tell their stories as a ghostwriter — or convincing myself that one more coffee is exactly what the next chapter needs.

Welcome to my corner of the world.
