Experience

I hold a Ph.D. in engineering science from University College Dublin which is ranked in the top 1% of higher education institutes worldwide. Over the past four years, I have been working as a research analyst, delivering market intelligence insights to marketing teams across diverse industry sectors, catering to businesses of all scales, from startups to large corporations. 

My journey as a market analyst began when I commercialized my Ph.D. findings by developing Science-to-Business (S2B) marketing strategies while working on prestigious EU-funded research funded for €1.5M. Currently, at BDO Canada, I am engaged in the B2B industry and market analysis, leveraging my in-depth understanding of the economic contribution of Canadian industries. My scientific research led to the publication of ten papers in highly ranked scholarly journals with over 250 citations. 

A summary of my market research and data analytics skillsets is listed as the following:
   • Data Analytics: SPSS, Power BI, Excel (Pivot, Macro), MySQL, Azure Storage.
   • CRM / MarTech: Dynamics 365, Marketo, MailChimp, Talkwalker, Meltwater, Social Sprout, GA.
   • Company / Industry Research: ZoomInfo, Hoover, Pitchbook, IBISWorld, Statista, MarketLine.
   • Market Survey Design and Focus Group: Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, NVivo.
   • Project Management: SmartSheet, SharePoint, ClickUp
