My name is Carolyne Atieno Otieno, a Bachelors’ student in Real Estate at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology holding the Special Program position in the Kenya University Students’ Organization (KUSO) and a first born in a family of six kids. I just cleared my third year and anticipate commence my fourth year in May.
The Real Estate industry fascinates me so much that I always want to be on the-know each and every day and this inspires me to grow into a great professional from as early as today. I believe I am a strong, goal-oriented and enthusiastic lady with a strong passion to provide sustainable solutions not only to my generation but also to more that are yet to come. I am an enthusiastic entrepreneur selling designer perfumes and eager to expand my business.
Being a student leader from the lower levels of education up to the university level has really built my confidence and interaction skills. This has made me appreciate people especially the youth in very many diverse ways. It has been through such interaction that I developed interest in advocating for Mental Health amongst us students.
I developed interest in fashion and modelling at some point after high school to boost my self-esteem as it had really retarded during the four year session from opinions of fellow students about my body. They made me hate myself somehow and this really hurt me but when it dawned on me that no would ever appreciate and love me if I did not do it to my own self, I got engrossed into modeling, my confidence was back and all my fears especially about my body went away. In the process I also worked on my speech and stage fright management. I still appreciate fashion till now.
