What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging research and report-writing skills in a collaborative, impact-driven organization with opportunities for professional growth and meaningful client interaction.

I am a Criminology and Criminal Justice professional currently pursuing an MSc, with strong experience in research, report writing, and client interviewing. I combine academic rigour—evidenced by a BSc with First Class Honours and a 3.94 GPA—with practical administrative and HR support skills.

As a report writer, I conduct virtual client interviews, verify data, and produce comprehensive, well-structured deliverables under tight deadlines while maintaining confidentiality. My tutoring role at university honed my ability to explain complex concepts, mentor students, and support assessment processes.

My background includes social media management, customer engagement, HRIS maintenance, resume screening, and operations support, demonstrating adaptability across academic, administrative, and community contexts. I have completed certifications in HR management, OSHA, safety training, and an introduction to AI and autonomous weapons.

I am organized, self-motivated, and committed to quality, seeking roles where I can apply research, reporting, and client-facing skills to support evidence-based decision-making and operational excellence.
