What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can apply econometric and data-analysis skills (Stata, SPSS, Excel) to inform policy or conservation decisions, work collaboratively, and drive measurable impact.

I am an economist with a strong theoretical background and proven experience in both qualitative and quantitative research, focused on turning analytical insights into practical results for organizations and policy makers.

I have applied statistical tools (Stata, SPSS) and advanced Excel techniques to analyze ecological and socio-economic datasets, build organized databases, design field research protocols, and produce clear technical reports that support decision-making.

I collaborate effectively across teams, lead data validation and reconciliation efforts, and contribute to community and voluntary initiatives; I seek opportunities to apply my analytical skills to propel organizational performance and sustainable growth.
