About

I study the systems. I fix the systems.

I'm Peace Njoku, a Nigerian-American public health strategist and researcher based between Atlanta, Georgia and Nigeria.

I've asked the same question in very different rooms: is this program working, and how would we know? On federal contracts, in a large school district, in community health across West Africa, and now in global health research in Nigeria.

What ties it together is the data. I build the surveys, run the numbers, and design the dashboards myself, so you get findings I can stand behind and reports your team can keep using.

I'm an MPH candidate in Global Health at Emory University, and I run ASARE LLC, a public health consulting firm in Atlanta.

For years that path looked scattered. Now it's what I'm asked to speak about most: building a career that adds up instead of starting over. People call me the Pivot Queen.

Advocacy names the problem. Systems solve it. I build them, and implement them iteration by iteration.

Portrait of Peace Njoku

Part one. I study the systems

Community-based research, built where care actually happens.

All of my research is community-based. I work with the people a program is meant to serve, and build the evidence from what they actually say.

Ask the people affected. Count carefully. Write it so someone can act on it.

Community-based · Nigeria · Current

Newborn screening for sickle cell disease

Evaluating a new screening program at Rivers State University Teaching Hospital. I designed the survey, collected the data, and ran the analysis, asking 249 pregnant women and hospital staff what they know, what they would accept, and what gets in the way.

Community-based · Emory University

Mental health among graduate public health students

A survey study of student mental health at Rollins, covering sampling, data management, and analysis in R.

Policy brief

The Pivot Queen

Don't start over. Stack up.

Talks and workshops on building a career that adds up instead of starting over.

The advice runs one way, especially for African diaspora professionals: pick a lane and stay in it. But the people doing the most interesting work rarely did. They can read a budget, run the numbers, sit with a community, and write the proposal, because they've been all four places.
