What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can lead high-quality survey and qualitative data collection, apply thematic analysis, and support M&E reporting—working with teams to ensure data integrity, stakeholder alignment, and practical decision-ready outputs.

I’m an experienced research professional with expertise in qualitative and quantitative data collection, thematic analysis, project proposal writing, and field operations. I administer surveys and qualitative methods (FGDs, KIIs) using digital tools like Survey CTO, CSPro, ODK, and KoboCollect, and I analyze findings using MS Excel and statistical tools.

Across multiple Kenya-based projects, I’ve administered surveys in diverse counties, ensured data quality and integrity, and prepared structured summaries and findings reports for client decision-making. I also support project management through team supervision and stakeholder engagement, including supervising enumerators during the Kenya Population and Housing Census 2019.
