Summary Bio

My name is Dr. Luke Odiemo Okunya. Officially I am known by the name Dr. Odiemo. I am a Senior lecturer in the department of Psychology at the University of Nairobi in Kenya. Due to my childhood interest in understanding human behavior, I opted to pursue my academic career in the area of psychology. I am sure many people will wonder how a child could develop interest in such a discipline!
