Summary

I am a dedicated and skilled Research Project Manager with extensive experience in research coordination, data analysis, and user-centered design. My background spans academic, clinical, and corporate research environments, where I have honed my skills in project planning, stakeholder engagement, ethical compliance, and delivering high-quality results.


Currently managing research projects at TB HIV Care and iKhokha, I specialize in overseeing complex initiatives, ensuring data integrity, and driving impactful research outcomes.


When I'm not managing projects, you might find me in the garden—because much like research, gardening requires patience, careful planning, and the occasional miracle to see things bloom!
