Tobias Oloo Owiti

With 23 years of experience in educational research and assessment, I am a devoted and results-oriented professional who is committed to achieving exceptional results while continually striving for excellence. I possess advanced skills in qualitative research, creating reports, and incorporating information and communication technology (ICT) in educational settings. I do excel in high-pressure environments with strict time constraints. My aptitude for acquiring knowledge in several domains through independent study, training, and research has constantly played a role in my achievements and the success of my organization. My strong interpersonal skills have allowed me to thrive in dynamic environments and collaborate effectively with both colleagues and clients.
