What I'm looking for

I am seeking community- or research-focused roles where I can apply clinical nutrition, field data collection, and reporting skills within collaborative teams that value data quality and community impact.

I am a clinical nutritionist with hands-on experience in clinical practice, community health outreach, and field-based research for infectious disease surveillance. I have worked as a field technologist and call-centre agent for KEMRI's ReSCov study, enrolling participants, conducting follow-ups, performing data entry and synchronization, and preparing weekly field reports while maintaining strict adherence to SOPs and study protocols.

I combine multilingual communication (English, Kiswahili, Luo), strong interpersonal skills, and technical competence in data collection tools (ODK, SurveyCTO) and Microsoft Office to produce high-quality data and community-focused nutrition interventions. I hold a Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics and certifications in Good Clinical Practice, and I seek roles where I can apply clinical nutrition expertise, research experience, and data skills to improve community health outcomes.
