What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead MNCH research using R, STATA, and epidemiology to translate structural health determinants into data-driven policy and sustainable interventions in low-resource settings—while teaching and mentoring future clinicians.

I am a distinguished public health researcher and lecturer specializing in Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health (MNCH), with 7+ years of experience dedicated to reducing maternal and child mortality across Sub-Saharan Africa. I lead research that investigates structural health determinants to drive data-driven policy reforms and sustainable interventions in low-resource settings.

As Lead Researcher & Principal Investigator at the Mattu University Health Initiative (2017–Present), I have published five peer-reviewed papers in high-impact Q1 journals, building a data-driven baseline for regional neonatal and maternal health policy. I use advanced epidemiological analysis—especially multivariable analysis and time series forecasting—leveraging R, STATA, and SPSS to tackle complex public health challenges.

Alongside research, I serve as a Lecturer at Mattu University, supervising 35+ undergraduate research projects with 100% ethical compliance. I improve learning outcomes through curriculum innovation (integrating Case-Based Learning into nursing education, increasing student clinical competency scores by 30%) and strengthen primary healthcare systems by managing severe acute malnutrition and newborn illness protocols within multidisciplinary teams.
