What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my data analysis skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on impactful research and policy development.

I am a dedicated data analyst with a strong academic background in Accounting and Finance, complemented by a BA in Economics and Mathematics. My experience includes extensive research work, particularly in the socio-economic impacts of environmental policies, where I utilized advanced statistical techniques to derive actionable insights. I am proficient in statistical software such as Stata and Python, which I have applied in various research projects to ensure data integrity and reliability.

In my current role as a Research Assistant at Environment for Development, I compile and analyze quantitative data, conduct literature reviews, and develop survey instruments. My previous experience as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Ghana has equipped me with the skills to assist learners in data analysis and research methodologies. I am passionate about using data to inform policy and drive sustainable practices in various sectors.
