What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage statistical analysis and research to inform decisions, offer collaborative teams, mentorship opportunities, and scope to apply R/STATA/Python on impactful projects.

I am a statistics professional with a Bachelor of Science in Statistics (Second Class Upper) and currently pursuing a Master’s in Statistics (Biostatistics and Statistical Programming). Over the past three years I have worked across consultancy and research roles, delivering data cleaning, analysis, questionnaire design, and report-writing for clients including government ministries and international NGOs.

I have led and contributed to projects that involved building business model canvases, migrating data into systems like SAP, developing monitoring frameworks, and training research teams. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments, applying tools such as R, STATA, Python and MS Excel to generate actionable insights and improve program outcomes.
