I can provide my collaboration skills to a role, which I developed when leading various research projects that involved collaborating with stakeholders from diverse professions. I offer my stakeholder management skills, as I have experience working with CEOs, directors and project organisers to understand their goals and questions. Moreover, I would bring my experience producing impactful insights as I have when influencing company policy through my research.
I have an empathetic approach to my research and collaboration. I have an open approach to my research and ensure it is accessible to all in terms of comprehension. For instance, I have delivered my findings to the public and stakeholders in published reports and roundtable conferences.
