What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my research skills in health economics, contribute to impactful projects, and foster collaboration with diverse stakeholders.

I am a highly skilled researcher and health economic management specialist with over 10 years of experience in health quality improvement, project management, and socio-economic research. My expertise lies in analyzing the political, economic, and social landscape of Sub-Saharan Africa through both academic and professional research. I excel in hypothesis testing, structuring complex research projects, and conducting both primary and secondary research.

Throughout my career, I have proven my ability to manage multiple projects independently while meeting tight deadlines. I possess excellent communication skills, particularly in writing, and have a keen ability to translate research findings into actionable insights. My familiarity with macroeconomics and proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint further enhance my capabilities in delivering impactful health programs.
