Research Assistant

About Candidate

I am a Social Sciences researcher and PhD candidate with over eight years of experience working across academic research, applied research, and data-driven projects. My core strengths lie in research design, qualitative and mixed-methods analysis, and the translation of complex data into clear, actionable insights.

I have extensive experience conducting in-depth interviews, discourse analysis, survey analysis, and evidence-based reporting, combining theoretical rigor with practical analytical skills. I work comfortably with structured and unstructured data, and I have hands-on experience using Python and data visualization tools to support analysis and decision-making.

I am highly collaborative, curious, and adaptable, with a strong ability to communicate technical and analytical concepts to diverse audiences, including non-technical stakeholders. I value methodological rigor, ethical research practices, and continuous learning, and I thrive in international, interdisciplinary, and remote environments.

Above all, I am motivated by research that creates socially meaningful impact, improves decision-making, and bridges the gap between data, theory, and real-world challenges.
