Researcher & Writer | Turning Data and Policy Analysis into Clear, Actionable Insights

About

I'm a Gender Studies postgraduate with almost two years of hands-on research experience across government, policy think-tanks, and academia, designing studies, running desk research and surveys, and turning findings into reports that actually get used. My research sits at the intersection of gender, policy, and public discourse. I've led independent studies on the commodification of gender-based violence in digital media, on feminist readings of visual culture and representation, and on healthcare access across the urban-rural divide, work that's taken me from raw research questions to two independently published, publicly available articles. I've also spent time on the editorial side, leading a university sociology magazine and proofreading policy reports for clarity and academic rigour, so I'm comfortable owning a piece of research end to end: from designing the study to writing it up for a non-academic audience. I'm currently looking for research roles in gender equity, social policy, and organisational inclusion, where I can bring both the rigor of academic research and the practical instinct to make findings usable for decision-makers.
