Muthoni is described as creative, innovative, kind, adventurous, calm, determined and somewhat humorous. She graduated with honors from the University of Nairobi (UON), with a Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing). She has now been a Business and Marketing professional for almost 7 years. Over the years, she has undergone various trainings and through Google, receiving a certificate in Digital Advertising. She has previously worked in advertising at Ogilvy & Mather, and ventured into different fields thereafter, such as Brand Management, Business Development and Consulting. After University, she worked on a project to help improve and generate revenue for the department of small and large animal clinic at the University of Nairobi Enterprises and Services Ltd. Through this, she learned that she could help make a difference using her skills in Business and Marketing. She therefore shifted her focus to the arts, for which she developed a passion.
Muthoni has always been a lover of arts, particularly in Africa. She has previously worked with artisans (tailors, shoe makers, jewelers etc.) and provided consulting for their small businesses, to help them run successful and profitable businesses. Africa is rich in culture and talent, with a vibrant arts industry and she would love to be part of raising its voice further. Through the Sauder MBA, she intends to learn about innovation and technology in entrepreneurship, and through its various resources and networks, she hopes she can further expose and grow this industry globally.
