This course was freely offered by Pennsylvania State University (https://online.stat.psu.edu/statprogram/graduate-programs). Statistical software: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Excel SPSS Minitab Tableau Rstudio (Entry level) Employment record Research employee and Lecturer at City University August 2022— As a member of the City University Research Institute (CURI), my main responsibility was to conduct studies within my area of expertise. I also played a crucial role in assisting with the implementation of the university's research strategies. With my specialization in agriculture and related disciplines such as hydrometeorology, environment, and climate change, I actively conducted research on the interrelationships between crops, water, soil, and climate/atmosphere. One area of particular interest for me was urban horticulture production and enhancing food production in cities, specifically Mogadishu, which is overpopulated by IDPs. I measured the food coping strategies adopted by these IDPs and contributed to studies exploring the impact of climate change on hydrometeorology, including long-term rainfall trends and the effects of climate change on riverine agricultural production. Additionally, I was engaged in designing experimental studies to further our understanding in these areas. As a junior researcher, I underwent training provided by senior researchers within the university's research institutes, which enhanced my knowledge and skills in the field. Furthermore, as a lecturer I teacher: 1. 2. 3. 4. Irrigation and drainage course Entomology course Soil and water conservation course Agriculture economic and policy Research Intern at Heritage Institute for Policy Studies Sept 2022-Febuary 2022 As junior researcher at City University, I was fortunate to be awarded a one-year research internship by its sisterly organization, Heritage Institute for Policy Studies, one of Somalia's prominent think-tanks. During this internship, I had the opportunity to engage in various courses related to the field of research, covering different research approaches, data collection methods and tools, report writing, and entry-level project management. Alongside the coursework, I undertook a research project as a requirement to successfully complete the internship program. Additionally, I had the privilege of occasionally assisting the institute in tasks such as data collection, transcription of interviews, and helping with the preparation of forum venues. Through this valuable experience, I acquired and honed skills that significantly deepened my understanding of research and project management, contributing to my professional growth. Monitoring and Evaluation Assistance Lifeline Organization December August 2017-June 2018 After completing the Monitoring and Evaluation training offered by Lifeline organization in December 2021, I was employed as a Monitoring and Evaluation Assistant. During my tenure, I actively contributed to the successful implementation of two projects focused on women and youth empowerment in Afgoye and Marka. My responsibilities were collecting data from the project areas before, during, and after implementation phases, while also actively engaging stakeholders. Through my involvement in these projects, I gained invaluable experiences that significantly enhanced my project management skills. My specific responsibilities were: • • • • • • • Assisting data collection activities, by conducting surveys, focus group discussions with project stakeholder. Organizing the data by entering and cleaning the collected, verifying the data quality and integrity using Ensuring the collected data accurate and effective in answering or achieving the specific questions or objectives of the project. Assisting the monitoring of the project activities and progresses by tracking project indicators, outputs and outcomes based on project framework Contribution the preparation and update of the monitoring and evaluation report. Closely collaborating and working with different project teams to ensure the project objectives are achieved. Ensure that monitoring and evaluation activities adhere to established standards and guidelines Research internship Program Akdeniz University September 2020-May-July 2021 When I was studying for my Master's degree at Akdeniz University, I participated in their internship program. As part of the program, I collected data from the meteorological station located at the University's agriculture research center. This project allowed me to learn and work at the same time. During the project, my fellow interns and I received training on how to analyze meteorological data. This involved identifying any significant outliers in the observed rainfall, temperature, and relative humidity data, as well as analyzing trends in the time series data. After completing the training, I was assigned specific responsibilities: • • • • • Entering the recorded rainfall data to excel and also importing the data recorded by the thermometers to the google-sheets. Cleaning the entered data and filling the insignificant temporal and spatial missing data using imputation and interpolation methods. Detecting and treating the outliers using Chi-squires Validating the data using modern and classic developed models Creating graphs for data visualization REFERENCE: 1.
