What I'm looking for

I’m looking to find solutions to events and diseases of public health importance and grow in public health research, monitoring and evaluation.

At Heal fast medical centre, I increased community health workshop participation by 40% through targeted outreach. I also trained medical staff in biohazard safety and monitored disease trends, including malaria cases, to detect and report outbreaks.

In Eldama Ravine Ward, I supported malaria prevention during a mass LLIN distribution, contributing with my team to 100% community LLIN ownership. I also helped strengthen COVID-19 vaccination response and coached trainees in data collection using KOBO and analysis using SPSS.
