About

I’m a market research and analytics professional who supports projects from start-up through data validation, analysis, and clear reporting. I enjoy turning messy or incomplete information into reliable insights by carefully checking data quality, spotting inconsistencies, and collaborating with senior researchers to stay aligned to client and project objectives.

In my recent roles at Ipsos, I’ve worked across quantitative and qualitative research—cleaning and validating datasets, preparing QA documentation, assisting with research materials, and contributing to reports and presentations. I also have a strong academic foundation in governance and policy, which helps me approach research with a structured, detail-focused mindset and communicate findings in a structured way.
