Visual storytelling, codebook design mentoring, cross-cultural communication
My passion for qualitative research and systems thinking isn't just for the office; it's part of who I am. I enjoy hobbies like designing codebooks, telling stories through visuals, and mentoring new researchers. Being fluent in English and Amharic has also allowed me to contribute to multilingual studies, where I've gained extensive experience in transcription and translation.
Recently, I've had the chance to take on big projects, like conducting end user assessment among policy makers in Ethiopia which I have really enjoyed doing it and also I love the challenge of supervising multi-site data collection teams and turning a mountain of data into clear, thematic insights with NVivo. What truly drives me is working with a team to build tools that make our work more efficient and impactful."
