Data Analysis

Statistical analysis & insights

With over six years of experience conducting quantitative and qualitative research in both academic and industry settings, I specialize in uncovering user insights that inform product strategy and innovation. I translate complex findings into actionable recommendations that lead to successful launches and sustained growth in B2B environments.


I bring a strong foundation in survey and experimental design and thrive in collaborative, cross-functional teams. Believing in the power of mixed-methods research to tell compelling user stories, I’ve led projects ranging from ethnographic studies to large-scale surveys that help organizations make confident, evidence-based decisions.
