Dolphine was born and raised in Kenya. She holds a Bachelor degree in Economics from the University of Nairobi, Kenya.

She worked as a Relationship Officer and a Student Mentor at Equity Bank in Kenya prior, during and after her university. This was after she won a prestigious scholarship offered by the Equity Group Foundation, a social arm of Equity Group Holdings that champions the socio-economic prosperity of low-income households. 

Prior to starting her masters training, Dolphine worked as procurement clerk at Gruppo ICM a major Italian company performing a flagship project of Kenya Vision 2030 economic development portfolio, at Konza Technopolis, Kenya. The project's aim is to create a world-class city powered by a thriving information, communication and technology sector, superior reliable infrastructure and business friendly governance structures. 

Dolphine is particularly interested in quantitative and qualitative studies on inequality within and among countries as a constraint of economic development. She would like to indulge her passion in opportunities that dissect barriers to economic development and or offer opportunities to foster economic development. She hopes the MESCI program will propel her to achieve her personal and professional interests.
