About

I am a PhD Student in Sustainability at the School for International Training (SIT). My research examines energy transitions, governance, and climate resilience across the Global South, the United States, and Europe. I study how socio-technical systems, ecological dynamics, and political institutions shape renewable energy adoption, policy effectiveness, and long-term sustainability outcomes. My work integrates policy analysis, public-private partnership investment, and systems thinking to evaluate energy governance, climate finance, and sustainable infrastructure initiatives.

I hold an M.P.A. in Policy Analysis from Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, Indianapolis (IUI, an M.B.A. in Marketing from Holy Names University, and a B.B.M. in Finance and Banking from Moi University. I am also a Certified Public Accountant.
