I am a medical statistician with extensive experience leveraging data-driven insights to improve healthcare outcomes. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Tropical and Infectious Diseases at the University of Nairobi, focusing on optimizing interventions for dog-mediated human rabies elimination in Kenya. My expertise includes statistical methodologies, data analysis, visualization, and healthcare accessibility research, with a focus on extracting meaningful patterns from complex medical datasets to inform evidence-based decision-making. I have collaborated with a diverse range of stakeholders and global health partners to support outbreak investigations, strategic planning, and response efforts. With a strong commitment to accuracy and effective communication, I excel in collaborative environments, driving healthcare improvements through data-informed solutions.
