What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to contribute to public health initiatives and foster my growth in health data management.

I am a dedicated Public Health graduate with over 3 years of hands-on experience in Health Information Management and data analytics. My academic journey at the University of Health and Allied Sciences has equipped me with specialized expertise in utilizing tools such as STATA, GIS mapping, and the District Health Information Management System (DHIMS) for effective disease surveillance and health program evaluation.

Throughout my internships at various health directorates, I have actively participated in health screenings, monitored vaccine fridges, and contributed to the management of health data. My role involved drawing budgets, validating data, and developing questionnaires, which honed my skills in data analysis and research design. I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge and experience to contribute to public health initiatives and policy development.
