Recent graduate passionate about gender and development research.
MalawiWhat I'm looking for
I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Gender and Development from Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR). My academic journey has equipped me with hands-on experience in both qualitative and quantitative research, community engagement, and data collection. I am highly motivated to contribute to public health research projects, ensuring that my work is both accurate and ethical, particularly in community and clinical settings.
In my role as a Survey Enumerator with COMSIP, I conducted household data collection using digital tools like KoboToolbox, ensuring informed consent and ethical standards throughout the process. Additionally, I serve as a Data Analysis Mentor at LUANAR, where I guide students in data analysis and research methods, enhancing their skills in Microsoft Excel for effective data management. My volunteer work with Let It Out Mental Health Awareness has further allowed me to lead mental health sensitization campaigns, advocating for inclusive access to psychosocial support for youth and vulnerable groups.
