Nirali Patel Email & Phone Number

As an Investigative Data Analyst at Code For Africa (CfA), I use my skills in social media insights, and to support data-driven journalism and civic innovation projects across the continent. I am currently pursuing Masters in Data Science at University of Chester and i have a Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Technology from United States International University - Africa, with a focus on Forensic IT and Cybercrime, which enables me to apply digital forensics and cyber security principles to data analysis. I have over 2 years of experience in data analysis, having previously worked as a Social Media Monitor for the European Union Election Observation Mission to Kenya, and as a social media analyst at SimeLab, USIU-Africa. I am passionate about using data to uncover stories, identifying Influence Operations and Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviors on social media, and promoting social justice on online platforms.
