Professional Experience: |
I have worked in Germany, India, China, the UAE, and the U.S. for over 5 years as a social science researcher. I specialize in monitoring and evaluation using quantitative and qualitative methods, project management, and policy research.
My experience includes survey instrument design, training enumerators, and data entry, cleaning, and analysis in STATA. I have used my findings to develop policy recommendations, which I have shared in various publication formats and presented to inform decision-making.
Examples of organizations I have worked with include universities, the G-20, GIZ, the OECD, UNESCO, the U.S. Department of Defense, and local and federal governments in the UAE.
Much of my work has focused on topics within education, employment, and social programs, but my skills are transferrable to other research areas that require data management and analysis.
