Meet Dr. Josephine Muiru or Dr. Phine as many of her peers love to call her. She is an alumni full of charisma.
I had several best Makini memories; however one fun memory was taking part in the variety show. I think it was for the school birthday, we formed a class dance group and choreographed a dance from the Joyful song in the movie Sister Act 2. I still love dancing and Sister Act 2 is still one of my best movies.

I had several favourite teachers but perhaps the one teacher who I shall never forget is Mr.Warutere, Mathematics teacher because I loved Maths.

A Medical Doctor – University of Nairobi, She also holds an MBA in Healthcare Management – Strathmore University. Currently Phine works in the Medical Affairs department at Merck Healthcare and Life Sciences ( formerly Merck Serono)
