I’m a Psychology graduate with hands-on research experience in study design, participant recruitment, data collection, and report writing. I enjoy turning both qualitative and quantitative findings into clear insights that support real-world decisions.

In my Master’s Research Project, I designed and executed a correlational study from the ground up—building the research design, survey instruments, and data collection protocol. I recruited and coordinated 100 young-adult participants, then cleaned and statistically analyzed the data in SPSS to identify predictors of procrastination. I also synthesized results into a structured written report, translating statistical outcomes into actionable takeaways for academic and daily task avoidance.

I strengthened my comparative research capabilities through my Bachelor’s Research Project on body image issues among young adults, where I examined differences across male and female participants from design through data analysis. Alongside recruitment and structured data collection tools, I organized and interpreted findings to draw conclusions about how societal and cultural norms shape body perception across genders.

Beyond academic research, I completed a Student Intern role in Observational Studies & Mental Health Research, conducting a week-long field observation study and organizing thematic findings from qualitative data. I also worked as a Clinical Psychology Intern and Observation Intern supporting group sessions and documenting assessment processes, which reinforced my ethical sensitivity, attention to detail, and commitment to accurate reporting.
