What I'm looking for

I am seeking research or analyst roles focused on behaviour and decision-making where I can apply quantitative skills, influence policy or programs, and work in collaborative, impact-driven teams.

I am a behavioural research enthusiast with an MBA (Finance) and a BBA (Marketing) who investigates decision-making and human brain functioning. I combine academic research with hands-on project work in digital finance, public health campaigns, and conservation-focused fundraising.

My experience spans research roles, internships with UN and development organisations, part-time lecturing in financial management, and managing social media and communications for NGOs. I have practical skills in STATA, SPSS, Minitab and Adobe creative tools, and I have led small businesses end-to-end.

I bring a researcher’s rigor, applied quantitative skills, and proven communication and project management experience to roles that require understanding behaviour, designing interventions, and translating insights into actionable strategies.
