What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote entry-level or higher role to develop my skills in digital literacy training, IT support, and e-learning. I aim to contribute to projects in data management within education, health, business, or development sectors. I am also interested in managing and supporting remote teams handling online platforms while advancing my professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in both data management and information technology. Over the years, I have developed strong skills in data collection, analysis, and supervision, particularly in health, education, and business sectors. I take pride in leading teams and coordinating fieldwork to ensure data accuracy and quality, which supports effective, evidence-based decision-making.

In parallel, I have over 10 years of experience in IT, where I specialize in digital literacy training, computer lab management, and IT team leadership. I am passionate about creating engaging training programs and managing e-learning platforms that enable learners to acquire essential digital skills safely and confidently. My work has consistently focused on bridging digital divides and promoting ethical technology use.

My core strengths include curriculum design, classroom and lab management, IT team supervision, database management, cybersecurity awareness, and project monitoring. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to combine my passion for technology and data to drive impactful, sustainable solutions across diverse sectors.
