What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply rigorous research, fact-verification, quality evaluation, and clear written analysis to complex work that benefits from independent judgment and remote, deadline-driven delivery.

At SLYCAN Trust, I verify factual and policy claims across 50+ research outputs and turn evidence from consultations, technical reports, and field data into clear findings for decision-makers.

I also review content for clarity, cultural accuracy, and audience fit, producing research, policy, and sustainable tourism communications using structured analysis, Canva, CapCut, SPSS, and Minitab.
