## About

```text
At Living Goods, I partnered with county and sub-county health teams to align workplans with Ministry of Health priorities and strengthen government-led community health systems. I supported the onboarding and digital transition of 180+ Community Health Promoters to eCHIS and helped establish analytics dashboards for routine planning.

I also co-piloted a CHP e-learning module and helped establish a Sub-County Commodity Technical Working Group. Earlier, I provided multi-county technical assistance and, as a Community Interviewer with KEMRI / CDC, collected mobile-enabled household survey data for tuberculosis and infectious disease surveillance studies.
