Work Background
IntraHealth International & Florida State UniversityResearch Staff
Apr. 2024Currently working as a researcher on a multi-disciplinary team. With a focus on data management, data collection, training assistants, and data analysis. Our research focuses on public health interventions from the perspectives of health providers and service users. I have built the right tool using open-source software that allows quantitative data collection to be implemented during the longitudinal study. The tools range from self-administered to guided questionnaires, both programmed to run on personal devices like smartphones and tablets. Benefiting from my long experience working and leading teams, I train data collectors and research assistants while conducting focus groups and personal interviews to collect qualitative data. Finally, I work on transforming data into information, bringing context and interpretation to what participants share with the team. I add value with a fair amount of descriptive and inferential statistical analysis and data visualization.
