I firmly believe that data is more than mere numbers; it reflects the complexity of communities, regions, and experiences. Each data point symbolizes a narrative waiting to be unraveled. My goal is to decode these narratives and understand the individuals they represent. Though data offers valuable insights, it's through blending it with qualitative and quantitative research that we can genuinely comprehend the people behind these figures.
