Profile Summary

I am a life science researcher (PhD Behaviour and Cognition) with first-author publications in leading biological science journals. I have spent six years working with complex ecological and biological datasets, designing studies, running statistical models in R, and writing research for peer-reviewed publication. I have led a meta-analysis across 86 mammalian species. I can help you with literature review, study design, methodology, data preparation, data analysis (Bayesian and frequentist framework, Generalised Linear mixed-effect models), scientific writing, manuscript preparation, and editing. I also provide research coaching for bachelor's, master's, and PhD students. I work carefully, meet deadlines, and explain my methods clearly. I will be very happy to help you.
