What I'm looking for

I’m eager to contribute analytical rigor and evidence-based thinking to a company and its initiatives.

At OneAcre Fund, I supported analysis of agricultural and program-related datasets to identify patterns and inform operational decisions. I cleaned and validated data, conducted exploratory analyses, and helped communicate findings through tables, charts, and summaries.

At the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), I supported quantitative research by organizing, validating, and analyzing data, then helping prepare statistical summaries. My work has also included data analysis internships at Safaricom PLC and Kenya Power and Lighting Company PLC, along with projects in exploratory analysis, model evaluation, and data quality.
