What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my data collection skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on impactful research and community engagement.

I am a passionate research assistant with a strong background in data collection and analysis, particularly in the WASH sector. My recent role at WaterAid involved conducting impact assessments and collecting data to support universal access programs in Kasungu District. I utilized the mWater application for data collection, ensuring adherence to JMP standards and GDPR policies.

Previously, I worked as a brand promoter at First Capital Bank, where I honed my communication skills and customer interaction abilities. My experience as an enumerator for various projects has equipped me with the skills to conduct focus group discussions, household interviews, and community facilitation effectively. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing from Pentecostal Life University, which complements my practical experience in research and data analysis.
