What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to utilize my research skills while contributing to community development and project management.

I am a passionate researcher with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Sociology from Egerton University. My journey in research began during my internship at the National Museums of Kenya, where I honed my skills in data collection, report writing, and presentation design. My experience includes preparing interview questions, engaging with community partners, and conducting thorough field research.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to professionalism and integrity. I have successfully led team projects and evaluations, ensuring that we meet our objectives within deadlines. My analytical skills extend to community development, project management, and public relations, making me a versatile candidate for various roles in research and analysis.
