KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am an established researcher with over 3 years of experience in planning, executing, and supervising research projects. I combine field-ready execution with disciplined oversight to ensure quality, reliable results.
I hold a Bachelor of Business Management–Purchasing and Supplies (Second Upper, 2014) from Moi University. My research interests are agribusiness management, market systems, supply chain management, and value chain management among others.
I have supported data collection for multi-sectoral and multi-institutional national and regional projects. I worked with AFRIDEV on the PRISE project to collect endline data for farmer sensitization on scouting and prevention of pests, and I also served as a research assistant collecting data for Foreign Investments in the Mombasa and Eastern region with the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics.
Currently, I work as a freelance enumerator, and I also provide online content writing and virtual assistant support. I bring unmatched skills in data collection platforms such as ODK, KOBO collect, and SurveyCTO, alongside proficiency in MS Word, MS Excel, and PowerPoint presentations.
