    Monitoring and Evaluation at World Vision Kenya,30 Jan 2025 at 10:54 am

    Hello , i am Peris Kerubo and For the past six years, I’ve been immersed in the world of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). It has been incredibly rewarding to see how data can tell a story, revealing what’s working, what’s not, and ultimately, how we can make programs better. I’ve had the opportunity to build M&E systems from the ground up, getting to know programs inside and out, and working closely with everyone from program staff on the front lines. I’m a firm believer in the power of data, but more importantly, I believe in the power of people. For me, M&E isn’t just about numbers; it’s about understanding the real-world impact of programs on people’s lives and using that understanding to drive positive change. I’m always eager to learn and grow, and I’m excited to continue contributing to the field of M&E

    As an eager graduate in the construction field, my journey encompasses a blend of academic knowledge from a Bachelor’s in Architecture at Manipal Academy of Higher Education with hands-on experience as an Architectural Intern. I have recently completed my master’s program in Construction Project Management at Heriot-Watt University. I am actively searching for roles in the construction industry. My core competencies, shaped by my education, transferable skills and certifications, are complemented by strategic thinking and a knack for people skills, organisation and management, which I consistently applied to projects and tasks during my education and internship. In my spare time, I challenge my perspective and thrive on creative expression through sketching and photography- hobbies that reignite my passion.
