I’m a Bristol-based researcher and market analyst with experience delivering insights, market studies, and fundraising support across sectors ranging from professional services to non-profit organisations. I have led both primary and secondary market research projects, supported fundraising initiatives, and coordinated events, stakeholder communications, and partnership activities for organisations in the UK and Hungary. Alongside my research work, I have experience contributing to radio projects, where I was involved in presenting, programme development, content preparation, and engaging audiences through storytelling and discussion. This experience strengthened my communication skills and my ability to translate complex topics into accessible and engaging conversations. Fluent in Hungarian and English, I enjoy turning complex data into clear narratives, mentoring teams, and helping funders and stakeholders understand opportunities. In my spare time I write novels in Hungarian, volunteer with community projects, and explore how culture and well-being intersect with business.
