I am a PhD-trained researcher and strategist with 10+ years of experience bridging qualitative and quantitative insights to inform business growth, innovation, and social impact. My background spans life sciences (BA in Biochemistry) and social sciences (PhD in Cultural Anthropology), giving me a unique ability to connect data with human behavior and decision-making. I’ve built and led a women-owned small business, designed and taught university-level courses, and delivered mixed-methods research and data-driven strategies for nonprofits, universities, and community programs. Skilled in tools like SQL, R, SPSS, NVivo, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Google Analytics, I specialize in research design, content strategy, UX research, and market insights. Key achievements include: Secured federal grant funding and developed evaluation metrics for large-scale STEM and equity-focused programs. Founded and scaled a women-owned small business collective, integrating branding, marketing, and customer analytics to grow reach and revenue. Produced data-driven reports and insights that informed both academic and applied policy decisions. I am passionate about using research to shape strategy, with a focus on equity, inclusion, and innovation. Currently seeking remote or hybrid opportunities in research, UX, and insights roles where I can help organizations turn complex data into actionable strategies for impact.More...
