GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I am a public health researcher and data analyst with over five years' experience strengthening health information systems, monitoring & evaluation, and secondary data analysis in low- and middle-income settings. I apply rigorous quantitative methods and practical data systems to inform RMNCAH, NCD, and SRHR programming.
My recent roles at Amref Health Africa involved leading multi-county M&E, designing ODK/eCHIS tools, building Power BI dashboards, and conducting advanced analyses in Stata, R, and DHIS2 to produce policy-relevant reports and publications. I have steered projects that reached hundreds of thousands, including solar-powered mobile clinics and COVID-19 resilience initiatives benefiting over one million people.
I combine technical skills in survey design, GIS, machine learning applications, and health information systems with experience training teams and producing donor-compliant reports. I am currently pursuing an MPhil in Field Epidemiology and Applied Biostatistics to deepen my analytical impact on health programmes in LMICs.
