What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply research, survey design, data management, and statistical analysis to evidence-based programmes and decisions in health, climate, finance, or market research.

I've delivered research and data analytics for Vanguard Economics, Paul Watkiss Associates, Rwanda Finance Limited, NCBA Bank Rwanda, Nexleaf Analytics, and the CLARE Programme. My work turns survey and large-scale datasets into practical evidence for pricing, financial-sector skills, climate adaptation, and public-health decisions.

At Vanguard Economics, I analysed CANALBOX customer demand elasticity and speed-price trade-offs, supported Loop's merchant-led fintech strategy for NCBA Bank Rwanda, and managed data for the Rwanda Financial Sector Skills Survey II. I design and program SurveyCTO tools, train enumerators, coordinate field operations, run high-frequency quality checks, and co-author reports for stakeholders.

For the CLARE climate adaptation study, I coordinated fieldwork across 21 districts and analysed household data from 2,450 respondents to quantify climate-related economic and health impacts. I also use GIS visualisations and national datasets including EICV, SAS, and LFS to strengthen findings on household vulnerability and resilience.

My foundation includes public-health research with UGHE and sanitation field data collection with the University of Rwanda. I'm currently pursuing an MSc in Big Data Analytics and bring hands-on experience with R, STATA, SPSS, Python, Power BI, GIS, REDCap, Kobo Toolbox, and mWater.
