What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine agricultural policy and analytics—using field data, modeling, and GIS—to build evidence-based insights, improve project outcomes, and communicate recommendations clearly to stakeholders.

I’m a first-class Agricultural and Resource Economist and policy analyst with 4+ years of experience across agricultural economics, agricultural policy, monitoring and evaluation, data analytics, and evidence-based research. I translate complex findings into practical recommendations for farmers and stakeholders.

In policy and research work, I monitor agricultural projects to ensure standards are met, interpret field data, and supervise junior analysts in data collection across crop production, soil health, climate patterns, and market trends. I develop statistical and policy models to understand trends and predict outcomes, then communicate results through clear reports and presentations.

Most recently, I’ve trained and supervised 50+ interns as a Data Analytics instructor, guiding them from beginner to advanced levels using Power BI, SQL, and R. I also deliver data cleaning, visualization, interactive mapping with ArcGIS, and rigorous survey-based data collection using tools like Kobo Toolbox and SurveyCTO.
