What I'm looking for

I’m interested in contributing to population health research and applying study-specific procedures and protocols in field research.

At Common Goal Research Center’s Kenya Preschool Study, I supervised a team of child assessors and supported data quality through daily spot checks and verification. I also coordinated field logistics and worked with school administrators, caregivers, Community Health Promoters, and local leaders.

As a Child Assessor on the study, I conducted language and school readiness assessments for children aged 3–5 and collected and validated data using SurveyCTO. I followed study protocols and prepared daily field progress logs.

For Practical Action’s Tharaka Nithi County Energy Plan, I conducted household and institutional surveys and submitted field data using KoboCollect. I’m interested in contributing to population health research, and hold TRREE Research Ethics and CIPIT Data Protection certifications.
