What I'm looking for

I seek a role using quantitative research and policy analysis to inform education or social policy, with collaborative teams and opportunities for impact and career growth.

I am a research economist and data analyst with experience producing policy-relevant evidence for international organisations, notably the OECD and academic research centres.

I have led data collection, cleaning and econometric analysis using large survey datasets (PISA, PIAAC, TALIS, TIMSS, household and labour force surveys) and built panel databases for large-scale projects.

I have drafted comparative research reports, policy recommendations and vision documents, coordinated stakeholder meetings and presented findings in webinars and expert fora to inform education and social policy reforms.

My technical toolkit includes Stata, R, QGIS, Python and Power BI, and I bring a strong academic background in political economy and economics, combined with proven project coordination and communication skills.
