Member. As a second-generation immigrant, Njeri has lived and worked in several countries, gathering experiences that have shaped her deep commitment to community, equity, and global connection. She has taught young people, supported families through transition, and worked alongside multidisciplinary teams on humanitarian projects across the world.
Her background spans Europe, East Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the United States, including time with the United Nations Department of Sustainable Development in New York. Njeri’s multidisciplinary training includes Anthropology, Sociology, Intercultural Education, Arts, Nursing, Public Health, and Global Health.
She is especially passionate about innovative education programs that weave together diversity, equity, and inclusion with ecological stewardship, health, and wellness. With a love of the arts, cinematography, world music, medical anthropology, and languages, she sees creativity, environmental awareness, and cultural expression as meaningful pathways to connection, storytelling, and healing.
Today, Njeri works with diverse populations as a public health nurse, advocating for greater healthcare access and supporting health literacy initiatives. She is grateful to be settling into the Whidbey Island community, where she enjoys community life, exploring outdoor places and spaces, and sharing “next level” activities with her family.
