As a researcher, I specialize in developing community-responsive research projects that adeptly combine quantitative and qualitative methods. My approach prioritizes community-led interests, adopting a participatory strategy to tackle a wide range of challenges. With a focus on leveraging diverse data analysis techniques and theoretical perspectives, I aim to generate insights that promote environmental and climate justice and improve community well-being. goal is to contribute to interdisciplinary projects that benefit from a dynamic, responsive research strategy, fostering innovation and inclusivity in addressing today's pressing issues.
