What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, collaboration, and impactful research.

I am an accomplished economist and statistician with over three years of research experience. My journey has been marked by a commitment to ethical engagement and cultivating relationships with respondents. I have honed my skills in data collection and entry using tools like ODK Collect, CSPro, and Survey CTO, and I am proficient in R and Excel for data wrangling, manipulation, and analysis.

Throughout my career, I have worked on significant projects, including the Kenya Housing Survey 2023/24 and the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey. My experience extends to database management and administration, specializing in PostgreSQL. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive insights and contribute to impactful research initiatives.
