What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth in clinical data analysis, emphasizing ethical research practices and collaboration.

I am a dedicated PhD candidate at The University of the Free State, specializing in Africa Studies, with an expected graduation in 2026. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust foundation in Psychology, Gender Studies, and Law, which I aim to leverage in the field of clinical data analysis. My experience as a university lecturer and wellness counsellor has honed my skills in research methodology, statistical analysis, and academic writing.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong proficiency in SPSS and Microsoft Excel, utilizing these tools for descriptive and inferential statistical methods. I am well-versed in ethical research practices and have a growing understanding of ICH-GCP guidelines and clinical trial procedures. My commitment to precision and data integrity drives my passion for improving healthcare through analytical research.
