What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level data or research role where I can apply statistical programming (R/Python), build dashboards, and drive data-driven decisions in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization that values integrity and impact.

I am a statistician and programmer with a BSc in Statistics and Programming from Kenyatta University, experienced in R, SPSS, STATA and Python.

At KCB Bank I serve as a Bancassurance Officer and previously worked as a Digital Banking Executive, generating dashboards, analysing productivity and presenting findings to board members while driving digital customer acquisition and sales targets.

I volunteered as a Statistical Analyst at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, leading data collection, analysis, reporting and presentations. I am a motivated, performance-oriented team player with strong communication and leadership experience ready to deliver effective, economic solutions.
