What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to analyze and manage data, support research, and help organizations turn data into practical insights. I value collaborative teams, continuous learning, mentoring, and work that improves real-world decisions and processes.

I've supported health and community research through AMREC, KEMRI, SHOFCO, and the Kisumu National Polytechnic, collecting, cleaning, organizing, and analyzing data for research studies.

At AMREC, I contributed to the Hypermarket, Foodscape and Health Study Phase 2 by recruiting and following up participants, conducting surveys and interviews, entering data through CommCare, coordinating with healthcare providers and community health workers, and writing weekly field reports. I also completed industrial attachment work involving ODK, CommCare, Microsoft Access, MySQL, Excel, SPSS, STATA, R, and Python.

I'm committed to making data understandable and useful, mentoring others to use it confidently, and helping organizations turn information into a strategic resource for growth and innovation.
