I am a PhD student with a background in research, writing, and data work. Most of what I do day-to-day involves organizing information, managing spreadsheets, editing documents, or pulling together research to create a cohesive and well-flowing study. I can help with data entry or spreadsheet clean up, virtual assistant tasks, or organizational work, internet research, or helping summarize information, and light editing, proofreading, and formatting.
