Mercy Siele
@mercysiele
Economist skilled in data collection, analysis, and strategic planning for impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven economist with hands-on experience in national survey data collection, cluster creation, and quality management systems. My academic foundation in economics and practical roles at the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics and private sector firms have honed my analytical rigor and operational focus.
I have led and contributed to critical national surveys such as Economic Surveys and the Kenya Continuous Household Survey, helped develop the Kenya Household Master Sample Frame (K-HMSF), and implemented a Quality Management System to improve data reliability. In the private sector I apply economic analysis to forecasting, inventory management, and supplier negotiations using tools like Shopify.
I bring strong skills in statistical sampling, survey methodologies, CSPro and RedCap, report writing, and project management, combined with effective communication and attention to detail. I seek roles where I can translate data into strategy and drive measurable improvements in policy or business outcomes.
