Clinical Research Assistant at Lifebox studying surgical site infections and operating room practices.

Message

At Lifebox, I collect and transcribe data, analyze qualitative findings, and support manuscript preparation for Clean Cut, a mixed-methods study of surgical site infections and operating room practices.

On the Pediatric Surgical Risk Calculator Project, I abstract pediatric surgical and NICU records into UCSF REDCap and check entries against study definitions and the data collection schema. I also support prospective external validation of a surgical mortality risk prediction tool for patients under 18 at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital.

My work has also included supporting postpartum hemorrhage implementation, contributing to a clinical audit using Excel and SPSS, and facilitating healthcare training. I’ve contributed to peer-reviewed studies on severe pediatric pneumonia, first-line HIV treatment outcomes, and Gitelman syndrome.
