My work focuses on mortality risk classification, fish health assessment, forecasting, and interactive dashboards, enabling data-driven decisions across global business units. Previously, I led multinational public health analytics projects across Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda, managing large longitudinal datasets and delivering statistical and predictive analyses to inform public health interventions and policy. Beyond analytics, I have extensive experience in research project management, scientific writing, statistical reporting, and cross-functional collaboration with researchers, clinicians, veterinarians, and government agencies. I have contributed to peer-reviewed publications and international conferences and am committed to delivering high-quality predictive models, advanced analytics, and business intelligence solutions that help organizations solve complex problems and achieve measurable outcomes.
