Summary
For me, the most important part of research is making sure the results can be used in practice to create real, positive change. I have strong experience in planning and carrying out social research using both qualitative and quantitative methodology. I've led focus groups, expert interviews, and one-on-one interviews on sensitive topics. I work with tools like MAXQDA, SPSS and R to analyze data and find useful insights.
