What I'm looking for
I am a sociologist and project manager with expertise in research intelligence, human resources and field data collection, holding a Second Class Upper BSc in Sociology.

I have hands-on experience using mobile data-collection tools (KoboCollect, Stax), project management and collaboration platforms (Asana, Jira, Monday.com, Trello, Google Workspace, Teams), and generating timely analytical reports for government and private-sector studies. I onboard and support participants, troubleshoot field issues, and maintain data quality under tight timelines.
