What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my public health expertise and data analysis skills to improve community health outcomes.

I am a dedicated public health professional with extensive experience in mortality surveillance and civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) management. Currently, I serve as a District Mortality Surveillance Officer at the National Registration Bureau, where I coordinate with health workers and community leaders to implement CRVS activities effectively. My role involves preparing comprehensive reports, conducting data quality assessments, and ensuring the accuracy of death registrations, which are critical for public health planning and response.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated exceptional skills in data management and community mobilization. My previous roles, including a Marketing Officer and Project Intern, have equipped me with a diverse skill set that includes market research, community engagement, and effective communication. I am proficient in using various technical tools, including MS Office and SPSS, which enhance my ability to analyze and present data clearly and effectively.

With a Bachelor of Social Science degree from the University of Livingstonia, I am committed to improving health outcomes in my community. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about leveraging data to inform public health strategies. I am eager to continue making a positive impact in the field of public health.
