What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply data collection, analysis, M&E, and visualization skills to programs where evidence strengthens decision-making, policy advocacy, and reporting.

At Washington State University Global Health Kenya, I oversee end-to-end data operations for concurrent global health studies, from instrument design and electronic data collection to analysis, visualization, and donor reporting.

I build and maintain REDCap, Kobo Collect, and SurveyCTO tools; manage longitudinal datasets; and automate data-quality checks with R and Python. I also train field teams on collection standards, confidentiality, informed consent, and ethical handling of sensitive data.

Previously, I strengthened research data management and M&E at Kenyatta National Hospital, developed Power BI dashboards, and supported public-sector research and national census data collection in Kenya.
