At Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, I retrieved and organized patient and research records, checked data for completeness and consistency, and prepared monthly statistical reports.

As a Researcher – Mentee at Adaptive Model for Research and Empowerment in Communities (AMREC), I supported research and monitoring activities from data collection through reporting. I developed data-collection tools and contributed to data cleaning, analysis, and report preparation.

As a Practicing Epidemiologist at Kakamega County Health Services Unit, I conducted disease surveillance and outbreak investigations, analyzed disease trends, and prepared reports using routine health data.

My work also includes field data collection using electronic tools and adolescent sexual and reproductive health education. I hold a Master of Public Health (Global Health) and a BSc in Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
