I am the firstborn in a family of 5. I was born in Kiambu County in Kenya, where I studied both primary and secondary education. My father died in 2012 when I was in form 3, one year before completing my secondary education. This was a hard period in my life as my father was the sole breadwinner in the family. Despite this challenge, I managed to go to the university and graduated with a degree in Business Administration. Later, I worked as an accountant in a faith-based organization. I currently run three Airbnb houses in Kiambu town. I enjoy reading and listening to music in my free time.

I left my accounting job after developing an interest in travel and hosting. I acquired a van and established three Airbnb houses in a rented property in Kiambu town. Airbnb services are in demand, especially for relatives who accompany their loved ones to the Kiambu Level V hospital. These houses offer them the comfort of home as their loved ones undergo treatment, minimizing the need to travel long distances. My costs include monthly rent which I pay to my landlord, household essentials, electricity, water and internet bills. I use the profit from my business for daily living expenses and giving partial support to my mother, who has no source of income. Sometimes I reinvest some of the earnings in acquiring new amenities such as bedsheets and kitchenware for the Airbnb houses.

I will use the funds to top up towards the purchase of a small new fridge for my Airbnb apartment. This will ensure my clients have cold storage, especially for medicine. This will improve my income as some clients always prefer having a fridge and may end up cancelling bookings if told that the fridge is not working. The extra income will boost my finances and provide extra money to support my mum.
