## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm seeking remote opportunities in scientific research, data analysis, technical writing, environmental consulting, or research project coordination.
```

## About

```text
At Ghent University, I contributed to technical coordination across five international research projects and helped process, analyze, and interpret more than 1,000 environmental samples. I designed and validated analytical and molecular workflows, then used R to examine environmental exposure patterns and biological responses.

My research spans environmental science, molecular biology, analytical chemistry, and plant–microbe interactions. I’ve contributed to nine journal publications, including three as first and corresponding author, and have coordinated agricultural research remotely with collaborators in Vietnam.
