I help publishers, researchers, and operations teams turn messy or time-consuming research tasks into clean, well-documented spreadsheets they can actually use. My work focuses on research, data verification, metadata checks, and spreadsheet preparation using public and institutional sources only and outreach. I work carefully from instructions, follow templates exactly, and flag missing or unclear data instead of guessing.
