About Me: Hello everyone! I'm Helen. Excited to join you all.
From: Cameroon (West/Central Africa). Currently based in the Dallas area.
Professional Background: Public Health Project/Data Manager. I also curate Mythological Africans, an online community for people interested in learning about mythology and folklore from the African continent.
Fun Fact: I got my official "Published Author" badge earlier this year.
What I’m working on: A research/knowledge management tool for people interested in doing deep research on topics related to the African continent.
How I can help:
- Research support, especially if your area of interest is the African continent.
- Creative writing.
- Project management.
- Data management (Excel, REDCap).
Why I was interested in joining Gildre: To connect with people who are working on interesting projects and building tools/solutions.
Where I could use support: My goal for this year is to develop a prototype for my project which demonstrates the basic functionalities. This involves creating a webcrawler that returns very specific results.
