Cecil Ochieng

Greetings! I am Cecil Ochieng, a highly qualified Social Work Professional based in Kisumu, Kenya, with a proven track record in advanced management processes. As a dedicated Senior Probation Officer at the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, I excel in coordinating prison release programs to support community rehabilitation and providing counseling to offenders, fostering successful reintegration into society. My commitment to evidence-based practices and optimum treatment modalities allows me to address a range of psycho-social issues, including anti-social behavior, mental illnesses, and substance abuse.

In my current role as a Senior Probation Officer, I have honed my project management skills and team leadership abilities. I collaborate with diverse groups, including individuals, families, and communities, to address psychosocial challenges effectively. My responsibilities include conducting investigations, recommending probation conditions, and collaborating with families to improve juvenile support provisions.

Prior to my role in probation, I served as a Graduate Clerk at Standard Chartered Bank, where I demonstrated exceptional speed and accuracy in various data entry tasks. Additionally, my experience as a Senior Field Officer at Busara Center for Behavioral Economics and a Research Assistant at Kingpin Research and Consulting Company has equipped me with the ability to maintain data integrity, provide project leads with valuable feedback, and design presentations summarizing research findings.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work with Second Class Honors, Upper Division, from Moi University. My commitment to lifelong learning is further reflected in my professional certifications, including Cyber Security Essentials, Sophos Firewall Engineering, Dementia Prevention and Management, Research Methods, and Integrity Assurance.

My diverse skill set encompasses court report documentation, behavioral counseling, research/due diligence, community service programs, and juvenile diversion programs. I possess excellent organizational and communication skills, coupled with proficiency in market and competitor analysis, project management, technical writing, and content marketing. My ability to lead teams, coupled with my expertise in teaching, tutoring, and counseling, has contributed to my success across various roles.

In addition to my professional journey, I have a keen interest in cyber security, reflected in my certifications in Cyber Security Essentials and Sophos Firewall Engineering. My commitment to continuous improvement and expanding my knowledge base is evident in my ongoing pursuit of excellence.

I look forward to leveraging my skills and experiences to contribute positively to collaborative projects and initiatives. Feel free to connect with me for further discussions on how we can work together for mutual success!
