I attended Lwak Girls’ High School in Siaya County in the late 1960s and later Limuru Girls’ High School for ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels respectively. I later joined the University of Nairobi where I studied chemistry and biochemistry — a discipline that enabled me to secure employment at Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) as assistant laboratory analyst in 1980.
