Ambitious economist and data analyst seeking impactful opportunities.
What I'm looking for
I am a hardworking and resourceful economist with a strong background in data analysis and research. I graduated with a Bachelor of Economics and Statistics from Machakos University, where I honed my analytical skills and developed a keen interest in utilizing data to drive decision-making. My career objective is to secure a responsible position in a successful organization that rewards achievement and offers opportunities for career growth.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various roles, including as a Youth Officer Enumerator at One Acre Fund, where I conducted extensive surveys to gather insights about youth farmers. My role as a Field Supervisor for the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection allowed me to promote social protection policies and facilitate linkages to essential services. I have also worked as a Sales Financial Advisor at Prudential Life Assurance, where I advised clients on the importance of savings and life insurance.
