Psychologist and researcher translating psychometrics and experimental design into measurable interventions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a psychologist and researcher with extensive experience in experimental design, psychometric testing, and longitudinal behavioural tracking. I’ve led applied research projects, including “needs analysis” and individualized therapy planning, while translating complex psychological concepts into actionable interventions for clinical and educational settings.
Across school and clinical contexts, I’ve designed and implemented therapy programs and conducted exploratory and longitudinal studies using standardized assessments and structured observational methods. I also strengthen my quantitative and methodological foundations through coursework and ongoing “introductory training in Python,” so my work stays rigorous, measurable, and intervention-ready.
