Health and Social Researcher With Extensive Data Skills

Profile Summary

I am a research analyst with five years of experience specializing in the intersection of healthcare, data science, and clinical operations. My background is defined by a commitment to improving health outcomes through the rigorous analysis of large-scale, complex datasets. I hold an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience from King's College London, which provides a strong academic foundation for my work in high-stakes clinical and research environments. In terms of technical expertise, I am highly proficient in R-Studio, SQL, and SPSS, with specific skills in longitudinal data transformation, mediation/moderation, and machine learning. During my time at UCLH, I managed randomized trial operations and maintained strict GCP and GDPR compliance. I have a proven track record of transforming multi-site longitudinal datasets exceeding 400,000 participants into actionable insights, ensuring that technical findings are translated into executive-level slides and media-ready visualizations. My research projects have focused on developing predictive models for healthcare access and quantifying regional mortality gaps to inform policy. With findings currently under peer review, I have led analyses for randomized trials and worked within multidisciplinary teams to address health disparities. My work remains centered on using robust data as a tool for social equity and improved patient care.
