Bright Agbenu
@brightagbenu
Public health and biostatistics-focused analyst, translating data into actionable insights through rigorous statistical research and programming.
What I'm looking for
I’m a public health and biostatistics-focused professional building evidence through clean datasets, clear analysis, and thoughtful reporting. My work blends research support, statistical analysis, and programming to help teams make better decisions with confidence.
Most recently, I worked as an Epidemiology Intern with the Georgia Department of Public Health, where I supported epidemiology efforts through data-informed practice. I approach every task with attention to detail and a strong commitment to research methodology.
Previously, I served as a Data Annotation Specialist, annotating large volumes of audio recordings to improve machine learning models for speech recognition and natural language processing. I also worked as a Research & Teaching Assistant, supporting faculty with research design, data collection, statistical analysis, and the preparation and delivery of course materials.
I’ve also contributed as a Volunteer Research Assistant for a Ghanaian NGO and as a Volunteer Biostatistics Consulting & Research Analyst, helping design survey tools, manage datasets, perform data cleaning and analysis, and produce visualizations and final reports. I’m energized by collaboration and ready to apply Python, R, SQL, and statistical tools to real-world public health and data challenges.
