What I'm looking for
I am a research and program professional with hands-on experience in humanitarian cash transfer programs, data validation, and field-level monitoring.

My background includes roles as a Validation Officer for the Hunger Safety Net Programme at NDMA, Assistant Program Officer for food security and livelihoods at TARDO, and Content Supervisor for the Kenya Population and Housing Census. I bring strengths in project management, stakeholder engagement, attention to detail, and quantitative data collection and validation.
