Maria Maryelis D.

Qualitative & Quantitative Data Analyst (SPSS, ATLAS.ti, NVivo, Excel)

As a Sociologist with over 9 years of international experience, I specialize in bridging the gap between raw data and strategic decision-making. I provide a comprehensive approach to data, managing the entire lifecycle: from advanced Excel data cleaning to deep-dive qualitative and quantitative analysis in SPSS, ATLAS.ti, and NVivo. My methodology ensures that every project—whether a national household survey or a sensitive social impact assessment—is delivered with methodological rigor and executive clarity. Core Competencies: Data Management & Excel: Advanced data cleaning, complex variable calculation, and dataset organization. I transform unstructured spreadsheets into analysis-ready databases, creating professional visualizations and dynamic tables that communicate results. Quantitative Analysis: High-complexity data processing using SPSS. I developed the syntax architecture for a National Household Survey (N=165,000), establishing technical standards for cleaning and analyzing massive datasets. Qualitative Analysis: Using ATLAS.ti and NVivo, I transform unstructured text (interviews, focus groups, open-ended surveys) into robust thematic maps and semantic networks. I have executed social due diligence projects for international consultancy firms, identifying critical risks and mitigation strategies. Multisectoral Focus: Background in Gender Equity, Education, Public Health, and Infrastructure. I apply a social-inclusion lens to deliver insights tailored to specific goals, from policy-making to community development. Technical Toolkit Advanced Excel: Data Cleaning, Pivot Tables, and Complex Formulas. Quantitative: SPSS (Syntax, Descriptives, Crosstabs, Data Cleaning). Qualitative: ATLAS.ti, NVivo (Thematic Analysis, Semantic Network Mapping, Hybrid Coding, Discpurse Analysis). Reporting: Actionable insights for Government, NGOs, and International Stakeholders. I am recognized for my autonomy and ability to meet tight deadlines, delivering results that move beyond simple charts to reveal the evidence-based story behind the data. Let’s discuss how I can help you turn your data into a strategic asset.
