In her current role with Cooper/Smith, Cassie works alongside the Ministry of Health in Malawi to strengthen and ensure high quality, routinely-available data and an ingrained culture of data use among health workers and policy makers in the health sector. Prior to Cooper/Smith, Cassie engaged in data consultancy with Vital Wave, analyzing collection materials and defining standard data models to create a prototype data dictionary to certify country-level malaria elimination.
