I am enthusiastic and avid learner, interested in challenging projects related to data whether in terms of data management tools or visualisation. I’ve worked as a Postdoc at the University of Copenhagen, and as a data scientist in multiple projects.
In my spare time I enjoy running, swimming, and cycling; I occasionally take part in races and triathlons (google me if you’re dare). I enjoy travelling to discover different cultures, and prefer doing long stays than weekend getaways. I have lived on three continents and can’t wait to discover more places!
Work experience
| Oct. - Nov. 2016 | Data scientist at Parkinson's UK / Pivigo 5-week team project for the charity Parkinson’s UK to find links between and trends among Parkinson’s UK members, volunteers, and service users. I cleaned the datasets, and consolidated the database. I used the resulting data to model the network of users who use their services, found the first contact into the network of services, and mapped the locations of service users. Together, we studied the relationships between people’s use of services and participation into charity work and other services, and found proxies of user relationships to Parkinson’s. |
