Reading the signal inside public health data — from outbreak curves to survey rows — and turning it into evidence people can act on.
About
I'm a final-year Epidemiology & Biostatistics graduate from United States International University – Africa, finishing my degree in 2026. My work sits at the intersection of fieldwork and data: I've helped run disease surveillance systems, cleaned and analysed survey data for national statistics, and led a university research project from proposal to final report.
I'm trained in Event-Based Surveillance and Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response, and comfortable in R for statistical analysis. What I care most about is the translation step — taking a dataset or a surveillance signal and making it legible enough that the right person can act on it in time.
I'm graduating this year and looking for my first full-time role in epidemiology, biostatistics, or public health data — anywhere in the world.
