I am a dedicated MSc Epidemiology student at Wits University with a strong academic foundation in epidemiology, data analysis, and public health research. My interest in health-related challenges stems from a desire to help reduce burden of disease in vulnerable populations.
Through my studies and research, I have developed critical thinking, analytical, and collaboration skills. I have worked with tools such as STATA, R, and REDCap to interpret datasets and assist in generating actionable insights. I value interdisciplinary teamwork and am motivated by the role that health research plays in transforming lives and supporting the development of evidence-based policy.
