About Me

Turning data into
decisions that matter.

I'm a Monitoring & Evaluation professional with a Diploma in Monitoring & Evaluation from Daystar University and a Certificate in Data Science & AI. My work sits at the intersection of rigorous evidence generation and the real-world impact it can unlock for communities.

With experience in client-facing environments and executive support, I bring a sharp combination of analytical depth, strong communication, and people-centred thinking. I have hands-on knowledge of M&E methodologies, evaluation planning and reporting, programme monitoring tool development, and data analysis using tools like Excel, SPSS, and STATA.

I am FAO-certified in Resilience Index Measurement & Analysis (RIMA) and UN Women–certified in Results-Based Management (RBM) — credentials that sharpen my ability to measure what truly counts.
