Although I studied remotely, I never felt alone. I built lasting friendships with fellow PhD candidates, lecturers, and support staff. We encouraged each other through challenges, shared ideas, and celebrated every milestone together. These relationships made the virtual experience feel personal and connected.

The programme was more than academic rigor; it was a personal transformation. I advanced my research skills, learned to embrace criticism as a catalyst for growth, and developed discipline, time management, and digital collaboration. I became highly focused and solutions-oriented, with the ability to turn data into meaningful insights that can improve learning and innovation.

Today, I am proud to be an alumna of Kibabii University. I remain committed to supporting others in their academic journeys, share my research, and promote the use of technology to make learning more effective and inclusive. My PhD experience not only advanced my career, but also deepened my passion for innovation and lifelong learning. It is a journey that continues to inspire me to give back, mentor others, promote smart education and technology that transforms communities.
