Public Health and Epidemiology Researcher | Data Analysis, R

Profile Summary

I am a public health and epidemiology researcher with hands-on experience in data capturing, management, statistical analysis, and reporting using R. I have coordinated and analyzed multiple research studies, including maternal and child health projects, HIV-related research, and mental health studies. My work includes cleaning and organizing datasets, performing advanced statistical analyses, proofreading and editing reports, and producing clear, well-structured documents for both scientific and policy audiences. I have experience working with sensitive health data, conducting participant interviews, and preparing scientific documentation. This has equipped me with strong attention to detail, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to communicate complex findings clearly. I am familiar with One Health approaches, antimicrobial resistance, and public health research methodologies, which allows me to interpret data within a broader context and provide actionable insights. I recently transitioned to working from home, which has strengthened my focus, independence, and discipline. I am highly motivated, self-directed, and skilled at managing multiple tasks and deadlines. My experience in research, data analysis, data capturing, proofreading, and editing, combined with fluency in English and a strong client-focused approach, makes me well-suited for projects requiring rigorous analysis, clear communication, and reliable delivery.
