Welcome to my ePortfolio!

This is a digital space where I share my professional growth, academic journey, and practical experiences as I prepare to become a technical trainer in the hospitality industry. It highlights not only my achievements but also the values and vision that guide me as an educator and service professional.

Who I Am

I am a passionate, dedicated, and service-driven individual who believes that hospitality is about people first. My training at Kenya School of Tvet has equipped me with hands-on skills in food & beverage service, housekeeping, and front office operations, while also nurturing my role as a future trainer under the TVET/CBET framework.

As I transition from student to trainer, I am focused on becoming a role model, a mentor, and a facilitator who inspires others to achieve excellence.

• Share my vision, goals, and philosophy as I prepare to train the next generation of hospitality professionals

My Vision
