What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own accurate data work—field research or data entry—while supporting procurement, proposal preparation, and clear client communication to drive reliable decisions and business growth.

I’m a research-driven professional with hands-on experience supporting national data collection, verification, and reporting. I’m known for strict adherence to protocols, confidentiality, and quality assurance—so teams can trust the insights I help produce.

In my recent roles with Kenya’s national statistics work, I conducted field-based data collection and institutional profiling, verified and updated records, and used digital data collection tools (including CSPro and Surveyor Interviewer). I also prepared and submitted daily field reports, handled follow-up callbacks, and collaborated closely with supervisors and county coordinators to achieve complete coverage.

Alongside research, I bring procurement and commercial strength through tender management, proposal preparation, procurement compliance, and lead generation. I’ve supported tender advertisement and evaluation and prepared winning proposals while maintaining organized tender records and clear communication across stakeholders.

I also contribute through content and customer-facing work—writing and editing original content to client briefs, tutoring students with strong satisfaction outcomes, and delivering sales results through relationship management and effective marketing. I’m motivated to take on new challenges that combine accuracy, clear communication, and measurable impact.
