Hire the Best Research Specialists
in Kenya
Nairobi, Kenya
The YouTube channel quietly blowing up in your niche? I probably found it last week. Is the creator worth reaching before they get expensive? That's a Tuesday for me. I research for a living, and I've learned there are two kinds of researchers: ones who gather information, and ones who know what to do with it. I try to be the second kind. For content creators and media companies: → Sourcing YouTube channels and social creators by niche, growth stage, and audience fit → Clip finding to a specific brief, fair-use, platform, topic, format → Timestamp curation pulling the best 10 minutes from a 2-hour interview, so an editor doesn't have to → Analyzing what makes a viral format work so you can adapt it, not copy it For businesses and startups: → Competitor research: who's in your market, what they offer, where they fall short → Market overviews grounded in real, verifiable sources → Structured case studies backed by annual reports and documented data Here's what clients have said: "Highly punctual and efficient. Gets work done quickly. Highly proficient with web research." "Fast, all high quality, puts a lot of effort into researching. Highly recommended." "You were really good at being responsive and moving fast. You took on feedback well. Overall, you did very well." Top Rated | $10K+ earned | 3 years on Upwork First Class degree in Economics and Finance GMT+3 - available across EST and GMT hours Work gets delivered clean, organized, the way you actually use it spreadsheets, Notion, Google Docs, whatever fits the workflow.

I work with PhD candidates, Master's students, and researchers to strengthen dissertations, theses, journal manuscripts, and research papers. Over 8 years and 100+ projects, I've helped clients sharpen structure, tighten argument, and meet exacting academic standards without losing their voice. Some people reach out at a high-stakes moment: a final dissertation chapter, a journal revision, a proposal due to committee. Others come in stuck — unsure how to structure an argument, where to start, or how to pull a messy draft into something clear. Wherever you are, I can help. What I do Dissertation and thesis editing, chapter by chapter or full document Journal manuscript preparation and revision for submission Research papers, literature reviews, and systematic reviews Research proposals and methodology support Proofreading, formatting, and citation alignment (APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, IEEE) AI cleanup: rewriting AI-sounding drafts into natural, human prose Writing support for those starting from scratch or working through a difficult draft Academic Writing Article and content writing for blogs, websites, and publications How I work Every project starts with your goals, your topic, and your voice. I refine logic, clarity, and flow while keeping your intent and your authorship intact. I do not use AI to write or edit your work. Every change is made by hand. I read closely, think through your argument, and make judgment calls a tool can't: decisions about logic, structure, and the conventions of your field. Your work stays confidential and is never run through AI tools or content generators. My background spans the humanities, business, psychology, and education, so I move comfortably across fields and citation systems. Let's talk Whether you have a draft to improve, a manuscript to ready for submission, or just a topic and no idea where to begin, message me with a bit about your project and your timeline. I'll tell you honestly how I can help and what it will take.
