Freelance researcher and data analyst | Global health, security, & development

Profile Summary

I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a keen interest in investigating the interrelated challenges of security, development, health, and environment. My research experience includes conducting literature reviews, impact studies, needs assessments, and exploratory research; designing field studies and data collection tools; and both quantitative and qualitative methods. I have worked on a variety of topics and projects such as assessing the economic impact of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa; developing an empirical model to estimate the potential for tolerance towards LGBTQ people in sub-Saharan Africa; and assessing the impact of the Syrian conflict on food security in the region. My doctoral research centered on examining the development and security implications of public health crises in low- and middle-income countries. Prior to turning my focus to research, I enjoyed a career in Marketing & Communications which equipped me with the skills to synthesize complex, technical information and present it in a way that is palatable to a wide variety of audiences. I have used this skill set to work as a manuscript editor, wherein my ultimate goal was to ensure that the author's message was being communicated clearly. In this role, I primarily worked on manuscripts written by non-native English speakers.
