What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can support accurate data handling and analysis in public health. I want to learn from structured workflows, contribute to reporting, and help teams understand disease patterns and health programme impact.

I am a Public Health student completing an Honours degree, with a strong academic record in biostatistics and health systems science. My coursework and projects strengthened my foundation in data cleaning, manipulation, and exploratory analysis, and I’m building confidence in turning health questions into structured, evidence-informed analysis.

In my experience, I’ve handled patient and operational data with accuracy and confidentiality as a Data Entry Clerk, while also supporting reporting and tax preparation as an Administrative Assistant. I bring a detail-oriented, self-organized approach from both tutoring and virtual assistant work, and I’m motivated to use data to understand disease patterns, evaluate health programmes, and strengthen health systems.
