Bridging analytical rigor and human insight
I combine scientific training with curiosity about how people's experiences shape their understanding. The result is research that is grounded in evidence and informed by relevant perspectives.
I draw on cross-sector experience to adapt quickly to new fields, understand different points of view, and communicate findings to diverse audiences.
