What I'm looking for

I seek senior research or M&E roles in health where I can lead mixed-methods studies, support evidence-to-policy translation, mentor teams, and strengthen data-driven program improvements.

I am a public health researcher and monitoring & evaluation specialist with extensive experience designing and leading mixed-methods studies, including a transdisciplinary PhD project on hypertension prevention in Tanzania. I apply One Health frameworks to examine social, behavioral, and environmental determinants of NCDs.

I have led M&E and research assignments for international NGOs and UN agencies, conducted advanced quantitative and qualitative analyses (RStudio, NVivo, STATA, SPSS), and produced policy-relevant reports, manuscripts, and toolkits that informed programming and advocacy.

I am a collaborative leader who supervises field teams, ensures data quality and ethical compliance, develops study tools and evaluation matrices, and supports grant development and stakeholder engagement to translate evidence into practical health system improvements.
