What I'm looking for

I seek roles using my health financing, data annotation and research skills in collaborative, impact-driven teams focused on accurate datasets, capacity building, and evidence-based decision making.

I am a Bachelor of Education (Arts) graduate with ten years of teaching experience and substantial work in health-sector research and data annotation. I combine classroom practice in Kiswahili and history with rigorous field research on health financing and costing studies.

I have participated in multiple national studies including NASA, NHA, PETS, KEPH activity-based costing, and other costing and efficiency assessments, which strengthened my research, data analysis and organizational skills. I am proficient with advanced Excel, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Access, ODK and specialized tools such as the NASA Resource Tracking Tool.

I am dependable, methodical and customer-focused, eager to contribute my data annotation and research-assistant experience to teams working on health financing, service costing, or AI training for Kiswahili speakers. I welcome opportunities to apply my skills to drive accurate data and actionable insights.
