What I'm looking for

I seek a data-focused role where I can lead data quality improvements, mentor staff, work with robust M&E systems, and drive evidence-based decisions in a collaborative, impact-driven organization.

I am an experienced Field Interviewer and Data Analyst with over five years delivering high-accuracy data collection, cleaning, and visualization across program and clinical settings.

I have led local teams for document verification and data quality assessments, developed and implemented DQA protocols, and prepared concise DQA reports for stakeholders.

My work emphasizes data integrity—I consistently achieved 98% data accuracy, 100% equipment return, and strong stakeholder satisfaction while working in hard-to-reach areas and multi-site outreach programs.

I bring practical skills in R, MySQL, STATA, data visualization, and electronic data systems, and I seek roles where I can improve data systems, mentor staff on quality standards, and support evidence-driven program decisions.
