KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Remote-First Research & Data Support Specialist with 4 years of combined experience spanning project operations, virtual assistance, and mixed-methods research across multiple international NGOs. I specialize in keeping project logistics running smoothly while turning qualitative and quantitative data into clear, actionable insights.
I analyse large-scale survey datasets across multiple countries to evaluate performance metrics and deliver structured, client-ready reports. From translating raw data into clear charts and tables to producing strategic recommendations (including NPS analysis), I use Excel and PowerPoint to ensure accuracy and consistency across deliverables.
I also lead qualitative work by coding interview transcripts using defined frameworks, then synthesising themes into respondent-level narratives and country-level thematic reports. I’ve managed large volumes of qualitative data (including coding 14+ respondents per country) and produced cross-country comparative insights, mapping patterns and cultural divergences across global markets.
Beyond desk research, I’ve collected primary data through structured interviews aligned to GEDSI objectives using KoboToolbox. Backed by a strong administrative track record, multiple NGO engagements, and a certified Virtual Assistant toolkit, I bring exceptional reliability, time-zone adaptability, and a proactive coordination mindset to fully remote international teams.
