What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my data skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on data-driven decision-making and continuous learning.

I am a detail-oriented data assistant with hands-on experience in public data collection and analysis. My expertise lies in utilizing digital survey tools like ODK and RedCap, ensuring accurate data entry, documentation, and reporting. I thrive in both independent and collaborative settings, working effectively with multidisciplinary teams in field environments.

During my tenure as an Enumerator and Research Assistant at the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, I collected and analyzed data while maintaining data integrity and confidentiality. I developed visual dashboards and reports that guided data-driven decisions, showcasing my ability to transform raw data into actionable insights. My commitment to data quality assurance and strong organizational skills have been pivotal in my career.
