I am a mixed-methods researcher specializing in disability, health, and social care, with doctoral-level expertise in quantitative and qualitative analysis. I am experienced in conducting in-depth research, critically evaluating complex materials, and delivering evidence-based outputs.
I excel at document-level analytical review, including the use of tracked changes to strengthen argumentation, ensure methodological rigour, and deliver clear, audit-ready written work. I translate complex findings into structured outputs and accessible policy-relevant insights.
