What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support public health, program evaluation, or public safety initiatives through accurate data collection, clinical documentation, analysis, technical writing, and Amharic-English communication.

I support public health surveillance and program evaluation through data annotation, data entry, and clinical documentation. In remote freelance roles, I've categorized complex datasets, identified patterns, and maintained accurate records for public health and drug policy initiatives.

My clinical experience at Alemgena Health Center, St. Peter's Specialized Hospital, and St. Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital strengthened my work in patient data collection, substance use disorder documentation, reporting, and community-level interventions. I also translate and transcribe public health content between Amharic and English to help healthcare and public safety stakeholders share information accurately.
