Enthusiastic Statistician and Agripreneur with data analysis expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am an enthusiastic Statistician, Administrator, and Agripreneur with a strong focus on agricultural value chain optimization and data analysis. My expertise lies in designing data collection tools, conducting field research, and delivering actionable insights that drive sustainable agricultural development. I am proficient in statistical software such as R, SPSS, STATA, SQL, and POWER BI, and I leverage machine learning techniques to enhance food security and improve outcomes for smallholder farmers.
In my current role as an Agripreneur with the National Value Chain Development Program, I have successfully led initiatives that improved market access for over 500 smallholder farmers in Murang’a. I design and deploy data collection tools to assess crop production gaps and farmer needs, analyze seasonal trends, and recommend drought-resistant crop strategies that have boosted yields by 15%. My commitment to delivering high-quality reports and tracking metrics has been instrumental in driving income growth and reducing post-harvest losses.
