Bio

My academic background in health sciences has equipped me with a strong methodological skill set in mixed methods research, quantitative research, longitudinal studies and qualitative designs. Through previous research experiences of over five as researcher, I have honed my ability to tackle complex problems and generate valuable insights. I am driven by a curiosity to explore the frontiers of knowledge and a desire to make meaningful contributions to the field. My research interests lie in health promotion, acute care, mental health and I am eager to engage in projects that push the boundaries of what is known. I thrive in collaborative environments, valuing the exchange of ideas and perspectives that drive innovation. In addition to my technical skills, I bring strong communication and teamwork abilities, essential for translating research findings into practical solutions. I am adept at data analytics using R, STATA and SPSS. Whether it's designing experiments, analyzing data, or presenting findings, I approach each aspect of the research process with meticulous attention to detail.

Bacteriological profile and safety of Soured Milk in Uganda

Article November 14, 2018

Background: Soured milk has an outstanding nutritional quality and highly consumed by people in Kampala and Uganda. However, it is an excellent medium for pathogen bacterial growth and an important source of bacterial infections when poorly handled. A cross sectional study was carried out to assess for occurrence of pathological bacterial species in soured milk sold in retail dairy shops in Makindye, Kampala, Uganda. A total of 174 soured milk samples were purposively collected and analyzed using by standard bacteriological methods. 89.1% of the samples showed significant bacterial contamination. The most commonly isolated organisms were E coli (47.1%), Klebsiella spp (28.4%) Shigella Spp (11.6%), Salmonella Spp (7.1%) and Enterobacteria faecalis (5.8%). Factors associated with contamination included; age, level of education, working experience, source of information on milk handling, longevity of soured milk, presence of pests at facility, availability of hand washing equipment and general cleanliness.
