What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level analytics role where I can build dashboards, lead M&E efforts, and apply SQL/Python/Power BI in a collaborative, impact-focused organization that supports professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented data analyst with 4+ years of experience in data analytics, monitoring & evaluation, and financial reporting. I design and manage data collection systems, build interactive dashboards, and translate complex datasets into actionable insights for operational and strategic decisions.

I have implemented digital surveys using Kobo Toolbox and ODK, led KPI tracking and performance benchmarking, and used Excel, SQL, Python and Power BI to produce stakeholder-ready reports. My work spans agriculture, development projects, and logistics where I improved reporting efficiency and supported baseline and endline evaluations.

I am collaborative, committed to data integrity, and seeking opportunities to apply rigorous analysis and visualization to drive program impact and inform policy.
