Aka Kenyan Pundit. I'm from Kenya and graduated with a J.D. from Harvard Law School in June 2005. I will be spending a year and Africa working on human rights and technology policy issues. While in law school, I interned with the World Bank's Department of Institutional Integrity and worked as a summer associate at Covington and Burling, Washington DC. I have a wide range of interests spanning from the intersection between law and technology (heavily nurtured by my status as a Berkman Center groupie), to the challenge of expanding the space available for young Africans to participate in expressing themselves and shaping their future. You could probably refer to me as a (cool) nerd. When I'm not trying to keep up with my attempts to accommodate all my interests, I enjoy indulging in activities that do not require much thought (and maybe this will be the year that I start working out!).
