Costa RicaWhat I'm looking for
I am a statistician with hands-on experience designing methodologies, measurement instruments, and efficient reporting systems for research and public institutions. I build models and questionnaires that align with project objectives and operational constraints.
I have collaborated as a consultant with national and international organizations, producing surveys, indicators, and methodological documentation used by ministries and research centers. I also analyze data with tools like SPSS, R/RStudio, and Excel to generate clear, actionable reports.
As an educator, I taught statistics courses at the Universidad de Costa Rica and provided tailored statistical support for non-statistics programs, adapting content to diverse audiences. I lead and participate in teams, communicating results and training colleagues when needed.
My published work includes studies on public health, consumer surveys, and higher education labor demand, demonstrating applied research capability and a track record of contributing to peer-reviewed outputs.
