Contribute to research outputs by drafting tool protocols, conducting fieldwork, and synthesizing findings into briefs and reports

Background

I've spent five years evaluating education and health programs across East Africa, with previous roles at Dignitas and the African Population and Health Research Center. I'm currently completing my MSc in Statistical Science at Strathmore University, where I focus on causal inference methods for understanding heterogeneous treatment effects. I'm particularly interested in the link between education and labor economics—how what children learn today translates into opportunity and mobility tomorrow.

Advice I'd give my 8-year-old self:

"The people who call you 'crazy' for your choices usually just wish they had the courage to make their own."
