Hello there! I'm Anita, a Mastercard Foundation-AfOx scholar currently pursuing an MSc in International Health and Tropical Medicine at the University of Oxford.

I have over 3 years of professional experience as a Health Data Scientist, having collaborated extensively with the WHO Afro regional office, the Kenyan Ministry of Health, and various governmental bodies. My focus has been on providing crucial health-related analytical insights to shape policy and decision-making processes, especially in the context of infectious disease outbreak response.

My expertise lies in the application of evidence-based research to inform and contribute to the control and prevention of infectious diseases. With a strong foundation in epidemiological principles and statistical analysis, I am adept at navigating complex health datasets and conducting comprehensive research to support public health initiatives.

Beyond my professional commitments, I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals to unlock their full potential through access to quality education opportunities. I share my insights and experiences through engaging content on LinkedIn and my YouTube Channel (Anita Makori).In my free time, I actively mentor young girls, encouraging them to explore non-traditional career paths. I hope to serve as an inspiring role model, helping others overcome mental barriers that may hinder them from taking bold steps in life.
