What I'm looking for

I seek data-driven roles in disaster risk reduction or public health where I can shape policy through quantitative and spatial analysis, stakeholder engagement, and impactful reporting.

I am a resilience researcher with five years of experience turning complex MSc Risk, Disaster and Resilience datasets into actionable insights. I specialize in quantitative, spatial and qualitative analysis of economic impact and policy evaluation to inform disaster risk reduction.

I have conducted exposure and vulnerability analyses using R, Excel, SPSS and QGIS, led stakeholder consultations and produced evaluation reports for governments and local organizations. I have delivered consultancy work, project management and collaborative presentations with public health and emergency partners.

I publish on evacuation decision-making and transboundary flood risk challenges, volunteer in community digital outreach and seek opportunities to apply data-driven policy analysis to reduce disaster losses and improve resilience outcomes.
