About

My skill-set:

I am particularly specialised in psychological and social sciences work, but have a basic grasp of most humanities and social sciences topics. I am a training Research Psychologist, so not yet qualified, but I've developed a number of skills so far.

Much of my skills can be applied to academic papers, posters, and presentations, and I have experience in working as a tutor, writing fellow, and marker.

These skills include:

Proof-reading
Editing
Paper structure advice
Theory of change design
Writing for development communication/purposes
Basic PEST design skills
Literature Review guidance/proofing
Research report guidance/proofing
Data Analysis (running and interpretation of results through R and basic analyses through Excel) - psychological and org/industrial psychological, though I can try with other related fields
Basic psychometrics
Research Analysis (to assess appropriateness of methods chosen)
Critical thinking and writing guidance
PowerPoint presentation design
