Market Research Analyst specializing in transcription, insights, and infographic-ready reporting.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Market Research Analyst & Transcription Specialist with 8+ years supporting qualitative and quantitative research across Africa. I help teams turn raw discussions into clear insights, structured summaries, and client-ready reports.
My work spans focus groups, in-depth interviews, ethnographic-style research, and online research sessions. I ensure high-accuracy research documentation through detailed note-taking, transcription, insight extraction, and thematic summaries—while maintaining strict confidentiality and data accuracy.
I also strengthen research communication through visually engaging storytelling. I translate complex findings into structured slides and infographic-style presentations (using Microsoft PowerPoint), so insights are easier to understand and act on by diverse stakeholders.
Beyond research documentation, I support fieldwork coordination, participant management, and research logistics, and I translate materials between English and Swahili to keep communication culturally relevant. I’m currently expanding my capabilities in AI-assisted transcription and AI productivity tools to improve digital research workflows.
