What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my data analysis skills while contributing to meaningful projects focused on community development and empowerment.

I am an energetic self-starter with a strong background in statistics and virtual assistance. My experience includes data collection, entry, and analysis, where I have honed my skills in providing exceptional service to clients, particularly in challenging situations. I pride myself on my strategic and analytical thinking, which allows me to holistically analyze complex issues and develop effective solutions.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated excellent organizational and communication skills, which have been essential in my roles at the Kenya Bureau of Statistics and as a Presiding Officer for the IEBC. My commitment to teamwork and team management has been evident in my volunteer work as a Co-Founder of Femme PWR, where I advocate for women's empowerment and rural development. I am driven to see projects through to completion and continuously seek opportunities to apply my technical skills in data analysis.
