What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a human-centred role where I can apply research and analytical skills to understand user behaviour, needs, and decision-making.

I've contributed to behavioural research at the William James Research Center, helping design studies, review scientific literature, and develop research protocols and questions.

I collect participant data and analyse quantitative findings using SPSS, JASP, and Jamovi, applying statistical methods to investigate patterns in human behaviour. I also have experience transcribing and qualitatively analysing research interviews to identify themes and patterns.

With an MSc in Cognitive Science and a background in psychological sciences, I'm interested in human-centred roles focused on understanding user behaviour, needs, and decision-making. I communicate research insights to academic and non-academic audiences through scientific meetings and outreach activities.
