She is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Education at the Cambridge University where she completed a Master of Philosophy in Education in 2019. As a trained lawyer, she has worked in the justice and health sectors in Kenya, Uganda and the UK. She is passionate about education and sees it as one of the greatest equalisers in society and for many people, the only invisible line of separation between absolute poverty and a life of dignity. She has seen it first-hand throughout her life where for instance justice is for those who can afford it and can read and write. In her words ‘I decided that I would not wait for governments, and international bodies to do it for us. I am part of the solution and we together can start an education revolution.’</image:caption>
