What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my research skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on projects that drive sustainable practices and enhance decision-making processes.

I am a dedicated professional with over three years of experience in research, data analysis, and project coordination. My journey has been fueled by a passion for using data to drive meaningful change, particularly in the tourism sector. I have successfully designed and implemented various surveys and research methodologies that have informed strategic decision-making and enhanced sustainable practices.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong skill set in quantitative and qualitative research, utilizing tools such as T-Stats and TOLIS software to analyze data effectively. My role as a Research and Statistics Intern at the Department of Tourism has allowed me to contribute significantly to policy development and strategic planning, while my volunteer experiences have further honed my event coordination and stakeholder engagement skills. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to delivering high-quality results that support organizational goals.
