UgandaWhat I'm looking for
At St. Charles Lwanga international S.S Kakiri, I manage the front reception desk, answer inquiries, and help visitors find the right support. I also organize documents and files and prepare spreadsheets with office metrics.
With Development Initiatives, Uganda, I collected development data and helped prepare it for analysis. I also contributed to research assignments and support for the Spotlight on Uganda data platform.
On the Spotlight on Uganda project, I gathered development indicators from sources including government departments and NGOs, and converted non-machine-readable data into Excel and CSV formats. I cleaned and organized data used to build the platform and helped review it for errors.
I hold a Bachelor of Development Studies from Makerere University. My experience also includes research assistance at Development Research and Training, where I supported fieldwork, data collection, and analysis.
