What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining psychometric research, quantitative methods, and ethical clinical research—preferably in academic or research-driven organizations focused on scalable, culturally responsive mental health tools.

I am an emerging quantitative methodologist and applied psychometrician with four years of teaching experience and a growing record of peer-reviewed publications in allied health sciences and psychology. I hold a Master’s in Counseling, am pursuing a Doctorate of Health Sciences, and specialize in psychometric validation, culturally responsive assessment, and scalable mental health tools for low- and middle-income countries.

My professional background spans academic teaching, research assistance, project management, and clinical research oversight, including roles as Research Ethics Committee Chair and Clinical Research and Training Manager. I have contributed to multi-country studies, led instrument development and validation (e.g., mental health screeners), and provide freelance quantitative and statistical consulting to support rigorous, context-sensitive research and assessment.
