About Candidate
My name is Erick Mwangi Kamunya.
I enjoy adventures like trips, outings, and hangouts with friends. I enjoy listening to music, singing, dancing, drawing, modeling, acting, reading, anime, and poetry. I’m interested in anything creative or art-related, as I love exploring how other artists communicate and express themselves. I’m a multi-talented, multi-hyphenated individual, and glad to be here with the team. We say “Habari yako “ in my home language Swahili and due to my love for anime we can also go with “Kon’nichiwa”.
I am a trained Journalist and communicator. I also double as a content creator, social media executive, and voice-over artist.
