I have worked in qualitative social science research in Kenya and Tanzania since 2014. I have worked with qualitative research teams to design and apply coding frameworks on studies of large-scale interventions and evaluations for small non-profits. I am interested in how deep coding can reveal nuances and themes in data. My research focuses on learning and change in epidemics and gender-based violence.
