Sheila was born and raised in the rural areas of the Rift valley region in Kenya where she quickly realized that she wanted to be an Architect in order to address the inequalities of developments in the region as an adult. This consequently informed her decision to pursue an undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture at Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology, and she currently has over five years of experience in the field of Landscape Architecture. She is currently working for the State Department for Public Works in Nairobi, Kenya and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at The University of East London on Construction Engineering Management.
