I am a Qualitative Researcher with 10+ years of experience helping clients turn complex qualitative data into clear, meaningful findings. I have completed 140+ research projects on Upwork, working across academic, healthcare, social policy, education, and applied research. My work spans the full qualitative analysis process from organizing and coding data to identifying patterns, developing themes, interpreting findings, and producing clear, well-structured research outputs. I work with interviews, focus groups, open-ended responses, blogs, and other qualitative datasets, using NVivo to support systematic and transparent analysis. I can support you with a single stage of your research or throughout the analysis process, depending on your needs.
