What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful data-driven decision-making.

I am a statistician with a Bachelor of Science in Statistics and Programming from Kenyatta University. My expertise lies in statistical analysis, programming, and data visualization, where I have developed a strong foundation in creating dashboards and generating comprehensive reports. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven ability to engage with diverse groups, including vulnerable populations, ensuring that I can communicate complex data insights effectively.

Throughout my professional journey, I have gained valuable experience through various roles, including my recent attachment at KEMRI, where I enhanced my proficiency in R and STATA, and developed skills in GIS. As a Freelance Data Scientist and Data Analyst, I designed interactive dashboards and conducted statistical analyses to drive business insights. My commitment to continuous learning and skill enhancement is evident in my participation in workshops and my role as treasurer of The Statistics Club at Kenyatta University.
