Education
Kamene attended Rusinga International School for both her primary and secondary education.
According to Kamene, although she had a strong personal interest in journalism, she pursued a more conventional professional path by enrolling for a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree at the University of Nairobi.
“Always wanted to do Broadcast Journalism. My parents thought I should do a solid degree so Law it was. Parents also thought after years of private school, it was time for public school to balance out. So from Rusinga School to UoN Law School. Culture shock at first but then turned out to be the best 4 years of my life,” said Kamene in a previous interview.
After graduating, she worked as a paralegal at Simani & Co Advocates for about 6 months before deciding not to pursue a long-term career in law and instead fully committing to media.
