I was born in Kiambu town in the Cetral part of Kenya. I am the fourth born in our family.My parent moved to Nakuru where i joined St. Paul Primary School for 7 years and then later joined Secondary school. life was a bit challenging for my parents in raising the seven children, and schooling at the same time, but after the struggling i managed to complete my secondary schooling. I didnt proceed to Higher learning as financially my parents were challenged.I joined a local college attained a Diploma in Hair Dressing and Beauty, afterwards i desided to start my own Salon business. It was a challenge as it was my first experirnce in the field.After a year full of challenges i decided to shift from Nakuru to Ongata Ronkai town where am currently based.
