Most organizations don't have a records problem. They have a visibility problem - the right information exists, it's just buried, mislabeled, or at risk of being lost forever. That's where I come in.
I'm a Records & Information Management (RIM) specialist with hands-on experience across government, academia, and professional associations. I help institutions bring order, structure, and long-term value to their information assets - and when the right system doesn't exist yet, I build it.
What I've delivered:
→ Designed and built a custom RIM system from scratch at the Executive Office of the Deputy President - using Google Sheets with dashboards, physical file tracking, reference number management, search and retrieval, and metadata handling. Tracked over 1000 files across a multi-department government registry. Coordinated with three colleagues, endorsed by the Deputy Director of the RIM Unit, and fully implemented in the unit.
→With the Administrator, we Implemented a SharePoint-based EDRMS for KARMA - Kenya's professional association of over 1,700 records managers and archivists. Covered full system design, configuration, and deployment. Fully live and in active use today.
→ Assessed and inventoried over 11,200 archival records - books, journals, papers, microfilms, and more - as part of an international research collaboration between the University of Nairobi and University College Dublin, building the foundation for a long-term preservation framework.
→ Managed records functions for a multi-department government registry at the Executive Office of the Deputy President, supporting compliance, retrieval, and institutional accountability.
→ Currently supporting over 1,700 records management professionals across Kenya through KARMA - coordinating events, managing member data, and amplifying the profession's visibility nationally.
I understand records management from both sides: governance and policy, and systems and technology. I can walk into a chaotic registry, diagnose what's broken, design a solution with available tools, get leadership buy-in, and see it through to full implementation. That combination is not common in this field.
