I am a data analyst and researcher with seven years of experience working in a non-governmental organization. My work has focused on different topics in education, such as gender equality in STEM, higher education economic returns and school choice in Mexico. I also worked on several websites that use data to help students, parents and schools make evidence-based decisions about their education.
I studied sociology and mostly learned qualitative methods like ethnography, but data analysis has become one of my favorite parts of doing research during my professional work and I especially enjoy using R to produce analysis, visualizations and dashboards. I built this site to showcase my experience and demonstrate the skills I could contribute in a new professional role.

These are the projects I was most involved in while working at IMCO, a non-government organization based in Mexico City. Some of them are policy analysis and others are policy interventions.
Most of my work as a researcher and data analyst involved some form of writing. I regularly wrote reports, policy analysis briefs, opinion articles, grant proposals and social media material, and it was one of my favorite parts of my job. This is a selection of that work.
As a spokesman for the projects I led, I regularly gave interviews and represented them at events.
I used R most days in my previous role. Tasks like merging, filtering and analyzing data were part of all the projects I worked on. I also wrote scripts to replicate most of these tasks and be able to save time when I was working on recurring projects. I also know how to build basic dashboards using Shiny.
I produced analysis and visualizations to prepare data for our web tools and for analysis, to answer research questions, and to turn our results into stories that communicate our findings to other audiences.
I was a spokesman for the projects I led and regularly gave interviews, participated in forums and represented them at conferences with stakeholders such as our users, donors or public officials.
I’ve published several research reports, policy analysis briefs, opinion articles, grant proposals and essays. I also routinely drafted and collaborated in writing press releases, social media materials and presentations.
I was in charge of several analysis projects and web tools. My responsabilities included planning their goals and stages, collecting and analyzing its data, tracking its processes and outcomes, and working together with other teams to make sure the projects moved along timely and appropriately.
I have basic SQL skills. The projects that involved web tools occasionally required me to query data, before working with it in some other software like R. I also had to be familiar with parts of the data models, as I often prepared data for others insert into our sites´ databases.
I’m always looking to learn new subjects and skills. These are the courses that have contributed something important to me.
I started working at IMCO, a non-government organization, while finishing college and I stayed there for seven years. After that I had roles as an Online Data Anylist and a Customer Service Representative. At the moment, I’m preparing to start a Master’s in Sociology at the University of Gothenburg.
