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

Profile Summary

I help international development agencies, NGOs, and other organizations working in the health, education, governance, and security/peacebuilding sectors use data to: better understand the contexts in which they operate, implement evidence-based programs and policies, cultivate learnings, and evaluate and communicate the impact of their programs. Adept at quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and SBC approaches, I’ve led and supported research projects across East and West Africa and Southeast Asia. Prior to turning my focus to research, I enjoyed a career in Marketing and 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.
