Philomena Karuri

I’m an analytical Statistician and Data Analyst with a BSc. in Statistics from JKUAT, combining statistical rigor with practical experience in research, retail, and food service settings. I focus on transforming complex datasets into actionable insights that support smarter decision-making.

In my research role at Kenya School of Government, I contributed evidence-based insights to policy formulation and helped strengthen staff and stakeholder research capabilities through supported training. I also organized and maintained research records, reports, and publications to ensure accuracy, proper referencing, and reliable outputs.

In business operations at Senem Jewelry, I managed high-value transactions with accuracy and confidentiality while maintaining organized inventory systems to track stock and forecast needs. I developed and implemented a loyalty card program, analyzing customer data to identify trends, improve retention, and guide sales strategies—while using digital marketing and social media insights to measure campaign performance and increase engagement.

I’m skilled in statistical analysis, data management, and reporting using R, SPSS, SAS, and Microsoft Excel, and I also build predictive models with Python and R. From my final-year project, I applied machine learning techniques (including logistic regression and random forest) and evaluated performance using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and AUC-ROC—reinforcing my commitment to analytical quality, clarity, and impact.
