What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead research-driven sanitation and public-health projects, influence policy through evidence, mentor teams, and partner with diverse stakeholders to scale sustainable solutions.

I am a research-driven sanitation specialist with deep experience in qualitative and quantitative methodologies, data management, and project management across public health, sanitation, and environmental sectors. I have led research teams, developed training materials, and translated complex data into actionable insights that informed policy and product launches, including the successful market introduction of a $1,000,000 biodigester in Kenya.

I excel at stakeholder engagement, quality assurance, and designing monitoring systems, and I bring demonstrated experience in partnership development and capacity building. I hold an MSc in Sanitation and have worked across government, NGOs, and private-sector projects, delivering measurable results in program implementation, MIS mapping, and community training initiatives.
