I've led tuberculosis research and digital-health delivery at Interactive Research and Development, including the rollout of an OpenMRS electronic medical-record system across three tuberculosis clinics and data management for a Global Fund-supported survey screening approximately 44,000 adults.

Across Impetus Advisory Group, Legal Aid Society, Unison Welfare, and National Philanthropic Trust, I've designed mixed-methods research, Power BI dashboards, monitoring frameworks, grant data processes, and evidence-based proposals. My work has supported a provincial immunisation strategy, contributed to a 17% improvement in immunisation uptake, secured USD 150,000 in funding, and strengthened audit-ready grant records and reporting.
