What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level roles in public health or research where I can apply infectious disease modeling, biostatistics, and surveillance skills while growing under mentorship.

I am a third-year Bachelor of Science student in Epidemiology and Medical Statistics at Kirinyaga University, committed to applying statistical rigor and ethical research practices to public health challenges.

I have hands-on experience in disease screening, surveillance, infectious disease modeling, sampling techniques, and the design and analysis of experiments, supported by coursework in medical microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, and molecular biology.

I bring practical skills in basic statistical tools (R, Microsoft Excel), first aid, and computer applications, and I am motivated to contribute to research, public health surveillance, and data-driven interventions that improve population health.
