Description
Hi, I’m Ryan!
I’m from Kenya and currently live in the U.S. I work in youth development, using soccer and outdoor education to bring people together and create spaces where young people can learn, grow, and belong. My work has taken me to Australia, Kenya, and the U.S., and I love connecting with people from all cultures and backgrounds.
I enjoy being outdoors, working on hands-on projects, and helping wherever I’m needed — whether that’s organizing activities, mentoring youth, or supporting community projects.
I speak English and Swahili, and I’m learning Spanish too.
Always up for new experiences, good conversations, and meaningful work!
