Show profile Hide profileAs part of my university education I completed a course in advanced statistical techniques using R. Recently I supplemented my statistical expertise with online courses in Machine Learning, SQL, and advanced R programming. As a result, I am skilled in advanced statistical techniques including predictive analytics, cluster analysis, dimensionality reduction, means comparisons, and hypothesis testing. Additionally, my training as a behavioural scientist provides me with the domain knowledge to generate accurate and meaningful insights from behavioural data through employing data collection methods unique to the social sciences and interpreting this data with a psychologically trained eye.
I have over 6 years’ research experience working for various NGOs and academic departments. Working as a research laboratory manager over the last 2 years have provided me with substantial administrative and supervisory experience within a dynamic and challenging work environment. My duties often entailed providing research support and practical project advice for other researchers at the department. I have also worked as part of a broader team for small and large-scale NGOs across different industries. My work at mothers2mothers, an international NGO, taught me in particular how to work efficiently within a large organisation and how to collaborate with various other departments and individuals to produce quality work. I was also responsible for producing and delivering key research reports to the various stakeholders at the organization.
My varied work experience has consequently equipped me with a versatile skills set and the ability to learn and adapt to new settings and changing circumstances efficiently and effectively. It also provided me with the confidence to function effectively as part of a team, individually, or in a managerial position.
