Profile Summary

I am a Social Scientist with a Master’s and PhD in Political Science, and over 26 years of experience in both academic and market research. Throughout my career, I have combined rigorous scientific training with practical consulting skills, working across projects that involve survey design, public opinion studies, data analysis, and academic mentoring. My expertise includes: - Quantitative and qualitative research methods (survey design, focus groups, statistical modeling). - Data analysis and interpretation using Stata, R, and SPSS. - Academic support and mentoring, helping graduate students structure dissertations and theses, improve their writing, and strengthen their methodological approaches. - Market and opinion research, with extensive experience analyzing consumer behavior and political attitudes. I have worked as a university professor and research consultant, collaborating with students, research groups, NGOs, and private companies. My work is always guided by clarity, methodological rigor, and actionable insights. If you are looking for expert guidance in research design, data analysis, or academic mentoring, I will be glad to support your project and help you achieve high-quality results.
