What I'm looking for

I am seeking research or health information roles where I can apply epidemiologic and data management skills, work on ethical, impact-driven projects, and grow in M&E and program implementation within collaborative teams.

I am a public health researcher and health records specialist with hands-on experience in health information management, research protocol development, and project implementation focused on youth and vulnerable populations.

I have implemented donor-funded research projects including interventions addressing provider behaviour towards adolescents and integrated bio-behavioural assessments of HIV and STIs among tertiary students in Nairobi.

My technical strengths include proposal development, ethical approvals, data collection and analysis, report writing, and electronic health records management, complemented by advanced MS Office skills and intermediate R.

I bring strong communication, organisation, and data-annotation experience from collaborations with research institutions and AI-data vendors to deliver high-quality, ethical, and actionable research outputs.
