She left KBC to join KTN where she has been for a very long time.
Other than broadcasting, she has also served as a board member on the Coconut Board Authority-Under the Ministry of Agriculture. Her appointment by the president in 2005, saw her become the youngest Kenyan to have served as a board member in a parastatal, from 2005 to 2012.
