Profile Summary

I am a dedicated public health researcher and quality improvement specialist delivering high-impact freelance solutions on Kolab Tree. With extensive expertise in epidemiology, quantitative research, and digital data collection, I design and implement robust M&E systems that drive measurable results. In my current role at Mary Joy Ethiopia under the USAID FFHPCT Project, I lead strategic initiatives that strengthen health systems, mentor emerging talent, and foster evidence-based decision-making. Previously, I managed data collection and analysis projects at G-D Healthcare System and Shone Primary Hospital, where I honed my skills in quality assurance and operational research. I hold an MPH from Hawassa University and a BSc in Nursing from Addis Ababa University, complemented by certifications in MEAL, project management, SPSS, digital data collection tools, and Six Sigma. In addition to my core expertise, I specialize in writing research articles, performing meticulous data entry and analysis, and providing thorough proofreading services. My commitment is to deliver freelance solutions that are innovative, data-driven, and tailored to create significant, sustainable impacts for your projects.
