What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters professional growth and values social impact.

I am a dedicated Research Assistant and Programme Officer with over three years of experience in administrative and qualitative research roles within NGO and governmental organizations. My expertise lies in providing administrative support in both onsite and remote locations, ensuring results-oriented customer experience management (CXM) and human experience management (HXM). I excel in technical support, report writing, and time management, which has allowed me to contribute effectively to various projects.

Throughout my career, I have successfully performed data annotation for machine learning, resolved data collection challenges, and conducted community-based research. My academic background in Justice and Security Studies, combined with certifications in SAP and customer support, has equipped me with a robust skill set to tackle complex problems. I am passionate about using my skills to drive social change and improve community outcomes.
