'Why I did my PhD at ISS'
'I embarked on a PhD in Development Studies with the simple motivation to be a "better quality" consultant in my field.
But the journey and experience of the PhD has opened up my life and work in ways that I couldn’t have imagined, inspiring me to pursue further academic research and engage in part-time teaching, to deepen and grow my consulting work, and to finally set up my own social enterprise in Kenya!'
