I am very good at digging up information and finding things that are hard to find. I am very open-minded and think outside the box. As long as research is involved, I can travel far and have the experience on how to approach and engage people to get the required information. I enjoy this work and make sure I give all my focus and determination in order to get all the required and needed information. I have done research for companies like Brac Uganda and Engie Energy Africa I believe these have groomed me into an individual that is an expert in making strategic and informed decisions I always actively listen to the customer and then talk him/her through how to solve his problem or what I'm doing to help him/her out. I try to put myself in the customer's shoes and make sure I can understand their needs best. I have experience in a translation and transcribing for different individuals and organisations.
