What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic organization that values data-driven decision-making and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated data management professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Statistics from Makerere University and extensive experience in health information systems. My career began at Olea Academy, where I was recognized as Employee of the Year in 2019. Since then, I have honed my skills in data entry, analysis, and training across various health institutions, including the Health Information Systems Program and Mulago Specialized Women and Neonatal Hospital.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, such as reaching zero backlog status in multiple health facilities and training over 50 data personnel in COVID-19 data management. My role as a Data Supervisor for KCCA in Makindye Division further solidified my leadership abilities, as I successfully led teams to meet critical data entry targets. Currently, I volunteer at the Ministry of Health UNEPI, where I support monitoring and evaluation efforts and contribute to the development of data management guidelines.
