I agree that she does not pass |our notability guidelines for professors, in large part because she is not a professor. She also doesn't pass our notability guidelines for politicians, soccer players, or astronomical objects. The relevant guideline is . Multiple recent (July 2018) Kenyan news stories profile her in depth https://www.nation.co.ke/news/-Gladys-Ngetich-rejected-for-298-KCPE-marks-shines-in-UK/1056-4679954-r39yqi/index.html https://www.kenyans.co.ke/news/31708-gladys-ngetich-listed-among-10-rising-stars-uk https://www.kenyandigest.com/gladys-ngetich-listed-among-10-rising-stars-in-uk/, and the https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-42655179 BBC in January 2018 included another in-depth profile of her as part of a story about the scarcity of female engineers. (There's also coverage http://oti.eng.ox.ac.uk/an-interview-with-gladys-ngetich/ here and https://medium.com/oxford-university/celebrating-women-in-engineering-832ba0e4d5d4 here which can help provide content for the article although not contributing to notability.) She is a Rhodes Scholar and has won multiple other less-famous awards. Her recovery after a poor showing in the Kenyan high school entrance examination has been described by media in other African countries as a test case for their own exam systems https://www.blueprint.ng/student-rejected-home-wins-uks-top-10-best-award/. None of these individual accomplishments are automatically notable, but they put the lie to the assertion that there is nothing of significance in her history, or only a single event to which this article could be redirected. For that matter, having a significant accomplishment is nowhere in GNG (see any number of "famous for being famous" celebrities). The clear wording of GNG is that when someone is covered in-depth by multiple reliable sources they are notable. Either we follow that or we revise GNG to be explicitly based on editors' opinions of the significance of the subject rather than based on outside coverage
