Qualitative Research Consultant | Food Systems, Public Health & Social Practice Analysis

Profile Summary

I am a qualitative research consultant with advanced training in food systems, sociology of food, and public health–adjacent research. My work focuses on analysing everyday consumption practices, health-related meanings, and social decision-making using rigorous qualitative methods. I support academics, NGOs, and policy-oriented organisations with high-quality research assistance, including interview analysis, thematic coding, literature synthesis, and conceptually grounded writing. I am particularly experienced in practice-theoretical approaches (e.g., Warde, Schatzki, Shove) and sociological perspectives on food, health, and the body. Having worked with interdisciplinary teams and international organisations, I understand the need for clarity, methodological transparency, and timely delivery. I work discreetly, reliably, and strictly within ethical research standards.
