What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth in public health, where I can leverage my skills in data analysis and community care.

As a small business owner at The Baking Hive, I have honed my skills in retail and textile sectors, successfully managing operations that yield a 30% net profit annually. My experience encompasses analyzing plans and proposals, identifying cost-effective sources for materials and labor, and applying fundamental baking and sewing principles to deliver quality products and services.

Previously, I worked as a Child and Youth Care Worker at Pathways School for the Disabled, where I utilized my assessment and intervention knowledge to develop individualized plans for children with disabilities, achieving a 38% success rate in helping them manage their conditions. My internship at Edenvale Hospital allowed me to spearhead data analysis using Stata 14, improving administrative efficiency and enhancing communication strategies within the healthcare system.
