Message

At the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), I coordinated community-based malaria surveys across 14 villages in Muheza District, screening children aged 1–14 years and supporting diagnosis and treatment for confirmed cases.

At Ifakara Health Institute, I coordinated structured data collection across health facilities for the TIMCI Project, conducted Service Provision Assessments, and supported community enrolment and retention. I used ODK and followed research protocols, GCP, and institutional ethics requirements.

For my BSc research project at Tanga Regional Referral Hospital, I studied undernutrition among 120 mother–child pairs. My analysis found diarrhoea to be the strongest independent predictor of underweight; I used SPSS and WHO Anthro to analyse the study data.
