What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful work in data analysis.

I am a dedicated Statistician and Demographer with a strong background in data collection, analysis, and visualization. My academic journey at the National University of Lesotho has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in monitoring and evaluation, predictive modeling, and report writing. I thrive in collaborative environments and am known for my excellent communication skills and problem-solving abilities.

Currently, I serve as a Youth Advocate for Sentebale, where I facilitate sessions on sexual and reproductive health rights, HIV/AIDS, and immunization. My role involves collecting data and mobilizing community resources to enhance health services for adolescents. Additionally, my internship at Mamoha u Hospital allowed me to develop a keen eye for detail in data management and verification, ensuring accuracy in client records.

With a passion for research, I have also contributed to studies on antenatal care utilization among pregnant women in Lesotho, where I was responsible for developing research proposals and conducting data analysis. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to make a meaningful impact in the field of statistics and demography.
