ABOUT ME
I'm a statistician with a bachelor's degree in Applied Statistics (with IT) from Maseno University and seven
years of professional experience in economics, research work, data analysis, and interpretation.
Additionally, I am currently working as a personal banker, where I have honed my analytical skills and
developed a strong understanding of data-driven decision-making.
With a solid educational background in Applied Statistics (with IT), I possess a comprehensive knowledge of
statistical methods, data management, and programming languages commonly used in statistical analysis.
This foundation has been further strengthened by my seven years of practical experience in various sectors,
including economics and research.
Throughout my career, I have successfully undertaken research projects, collecting and analyzing data to
uncover meaningful insights, trends, and patterns. I am proficient in using statistical software such as R,
SPSS, and Advanced Excel to perform complex data analyses, generate reports, and present findings to
stakeholders. My expertise also extends to developing econometric models, forecasting economic
indicators, and evaluating the impact of policy interventions.
