During my childhood days, I would spend my leisure time watching National Geographic films.I continued to pursue my passion for nature throughout my school days.I enrolled as a member of the Wildlife Clubs of Kenya and began practising as a tour guide while still in high school.I later joined Dedan Kimathi University of Technology for a Tourism Management Degree course.
