“Today officially marks my final day at work with @standardkenya @ktnnews.
It’s been an amazing journey and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been part of this for the last three years..” she said in part.

Some of the shows included the ‘Doctor’s Diary’ and ‘Health Digest”.
