PhD-qualified Research Consultant | Literature Reviews, GIS & Academic Editing

Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in Urban Studies and have over 10 years of teaching, research, and professional experience across urban studies, architecture, landscape, environmental planning, sustainability, and health and wellbeing. I currently work as a Research Associate on an EPSRC-funded project focused on green infrastructure, housing, health, and sustainable urban environments. I support clients with literature reviews, scoping reviews, evidence synthesis, research design, methodology development, GIS/spatial analysis, data visualisation, survey design, qualitative and quantitative data analysis, academic editing, proofreading, and research report writing. I also have experience with QGIS, Maptionnaire, SPSS, R, thematic analysis, behavioural mapping, and academic database searching. My published work includes peer-reviewed articles in Health & Place and Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, and my research focuses on how urban and environmental conditions shape health, wellbeing, behaviour, and everyday experiences. I also have experience organising research workshops, managing stakeholder engagement, and developing WordPress-based research project websites and social media communication. My approach is structured, careful, and evidence-based. I help clients improve the clarity, organisation, analysis, and communication of their research while maintaining high ethical and academic standards.
