What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my data analysis skills in health or research, with opportunities for professional growth and community impact.

I am a dedicated Data Entry Specialist with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Health from Brigham Young University Idaho and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems Engineering from Midlands State University. My academic achievements include a GPA of 3.85 and being a recipient of the Halls Foundation Scholarship, which covered my tuition for three semesters. I have a passion for improving health outcomes through data accuracy and community support.

In my current role at the Ministry of Health and Child Care, I have successfully validated data to enhance report accuracy by 50% and provided psychosocial support to over 2000 clients, promoting HIV treatment adherence. My previous experience as a Research Specialist involved conducting financial analyses and developing surveys to provide actionable insights for clients. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to making a positive impact through my work.
