About
I’m a researcher with experience across commercial, academic, and policy settings, managing quantitative and qualitative projects from design to delivery. I specialise in creating robust surveys, coordinating smooth fieldwork, and ensuring data arrives clean, reliable, and ready for analysis.
I work comfortably with diverse stakeholders—whether campaign teams, policy clients, or technical specialists—and I’m used to operating in fast-paced, data-driven environments. My toolkit includes Python, SQL, and Excel, alongside a solid grounding in sampling, quality assurance, and translating findings into clear, practical insights.
I’m driven by thoughtful methods, transparent processes, and research that actually helps people make better decisions. And when I’m not refining questionnaires or taming datasets, I’m probably comparing olive oils with the same rigour I bring to my work.
What's in a name?
PAEAN (Paian, Paiêôn or Paiôn, Greek: Παιαν), that is, "the healing," is according to Homer the designation of the physician of the Olympian gods, who heals, for example, the wounded Ares and Hades. (Il. v. 401, 899.) After the time of Homer and Hesiod, the word Paian becomes a surname of Asclepius, the god who had the power of healing. (Eustath. ad Hom. p. 1494; Virg. Aen. vii. 769.) The name was, however, used also in the more general sense of deliverer from any evil or calamity (Pind. Pyth. iv. 480), and was thus applied to Apollo and Thanatos, or Death, who are conceived as delivering men from the pains and sorrows of life. (Soph. Oed. Tyr. 154 ; Paus. i. 34. § 2 ; Eurip. Hippol. 1373.) With regard to Apollo and Thanatos however, the name may at the same time contain an allusion to paiein, to strike, since both are also regarded as destroyers. (Eustath. ad Hom. p. 137.) From Apollo himself the name Paean was transferred to the song dedicated to him, that is, to hymns chanted to Apollo for the purpose of averting an evil, and to warlike songs, which were sung before or during a battle.
