I am honored to step into the role of Executive Director at Hekima Place and to continue supporting the work that so many have built and sustained over the years.
Many of you may already know me. I have had the privilege of serving with Hekima Place for the past few years. In that time, I have seen firsthand the incredible dedication of our community in Kenya — our staff, the Mums, and the girls and young women themselves — and it has only deepened my commitment to this mission.

Hekima Place has always been rooted in the strength, care, and leadership of those who show up every single day for these girls. That foundation, first established by our founder Kate, is what makes this work so meaningful — and my role is to support, strengthen, and help steward it alongside our Board and our wonderful community of supporters.

I am so grateful to be on this journey with all of you. If you have questions, want to connect, or simply want to say hello — please reach out. I would love to hear from you.
