I was born in the early forties in Ruguru location, Mathira Division in Central Province Kenya. I had a hard time in my early years of education because my parents, especially my father, did not believe in educating girls. I became a teacher and got promotions because of excelling in my International and National Examinations. I have taught in the following schools: Nanyuki Catholic Primary School, Gikondi Catholic Primary School, Ngandu Girls Primary School, North Marmanet Primary School, Lower Kabete Primary School, Ndururi High School, Ngaindeithia High Primary School and Ngaindeithia High School where I was a principal before I came to America. In America, I have been an Instructional assistant in an Adult school, a teacher in a childcare center, and currently I have a family childcare home. I have also attended colleges here in America to attain Early Childhood Education.
