Bridging Research & Real-World Impact
About Me
With a Ph.D. in Health and Social Sciences and 10+ years of experience, I bridge the analytical depth of research with the practical problem-solving of real-world environments. My work spans academic, non-profit, and business settings, where I apply data analytics, predictive modeling, and quantitative research methods to transform complex data into actionable insights.
I’m a proactive, analytical, and highly communicative collaborator, recognized for bridging research and practical data applications.
