Highly motivated political scientist with technical affinity. Recently completed an MPhil in Politics at the University of Oxford, with a focus on research methods and comparative politics. I bring hands-on experience from several research projects, where I worked on data collection, validation, and technical tools like R and Docker. My early studies in Business Informatics instilled in me a detail-oriented approach and a continued interest in the intersection of social science and technology. As a volunteer academic officer and member of the EDI committee at Oxford, I care deeply about contributing meaningful positive change.
