Just a small town girl.
I am deeply passionate about research for impact. I have always been action oriented with a strong moral compass, so when I started my PhD, I knew I wanted to work on a project that could have real world implications. My research seeks to support evidence-based decision making for climate risk and justice. But I didn't always do research.
Where I excel.
I have a broad range of skills and expertise that I employ in my research and everyday life.
Research
Over two years of research experience as a research assistant. Proven ability to learn quickly and produce quality work.
Project Management
Over three years of project management experience (not counting the massive project that is a PhD). Demonstrated ability to manage projects to time and budget and resolve client conflict.
Design Thinking
Broad awareness of design thinking and how to create projects that embody human centered design. This means that I am able to empathise with the end users, delivering something meaningful.
Data Visualisation
A picture tells 1000 words. I am able to find creative intuitive ways of visualising information, both using design software and Python.
Real world experience.
During the three years as a project manager, I was lucky to work with a diverse range of companies (as clients), including fin-tech, universities, and government agencies).
Although I am no longer a project manager, I employ my pm skills every day.
