KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated social worker with practical experience in community development, mentoring, supervision, and field-based social services. I combine a strong work ethic and integrity with the ability to perform under pressure.
I have hands-on experience collecting and administering household and community survey data using digital tools such as SurveyCTO, ODK, and KoboCollect, and I translate survey tools into local languages to improve reach and accuracy.
My roles have included enumeration, supervision, mentoring, and data entry across projects with NGOs and government programs, where I contributed to reporting, debriefing, and feedback processes to improve survey quality.
I am fluent in Turkana, Swahili and English, and I pursue ongoing professional development in data protection, computing for business, agriculture as business, and soft skills to strengthen my community-focused practice.
