ZimbabweI am a senior researcher and evaluator focused on public policy, development, and gender equality, currently pursuing a PhD in “Accounting for the Uncountable.” I have led mixed-methods evaluations for UN agencies, Kantar Public, and NGOs, and won a regional data hackathon.
I combine advanced skills in Python, R, Stata, econometrics, and machine learning with practical experience in UN INFO monitoring, survey design, and stakeholder engagement to deliver robust, policy-relevant evidence. I seek roles where rigorous evaluation and collaborative policy advice translate into measurable social impact.
