MalawiWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated data analyst with a BSc in Forestry from Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources. My experience includes working as a Research Assistant at World Vision Malawi, where I facilitated data collection and analysis for various projects. I am proficient in using software such as mWater and Open Data Kit (ODK) for data entry and management.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in data cleaning, analysis, and communication. My internship at the Mchinji District Forestry Office allowed me to collaborate with local authorities on climate-smart agriculture initiatives, further enhancing my ability to manage and organize data effectively. I am fluent in both Chichewa and English, which aids in my communication with diverse stakeholders.
