Doctoral Researcher in Economics

Aug 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 1 mo

Doctoral research in economics, focused on applied quantitative analysis. Day to day: building and estimating models, working with real datasets, reviewing literature, and writing up results so that people who are not economists can follow them. That last part is what I bring to client work. Same discipline about sources, methods and stated assumptions, applied to commercial questions instead of academic papers. When I tell a client a market is worth X, I can show how I got there.

Freelance Market Researcher (Spain & Latin America)

Dec 2019 - Present • 6 yrs 9 mos

Market research for businesses selling into Spain and Latin America. What I do: market sizing with a stated methodology, competitor benchmarking, pricing and demand analysis, and sector studies for Spain and the EU. I work from primary sources in Spanish: local trade press, national statistics offices, competitor sites and customer reviews. Not translated summaries of English articles. My background is in economics, so I size markets with models and stated assumptions rather than round numbers. Every report ends with a recommendation the client can act on: go, wait, or adjust.

Spanish Content Writer

Dec 2019 - Present • 6 yrs 9 mos

Spanish-language content for companies that sell to Spanish speakers. What I do: rewriting AI-generated Spanish so it reads native, building brand voice guides that AI tools can actually follow, and ghostwriting ebooks, guides and lead magnets. Everything is written from scratch in Spanish, not translated. I match register to the target market, because Spain, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina are not the same audience and a text written for one reads foreign in the others. Clients usually find me after publishing something that said the right thing but sounded like a machine. The fix is not a better prompt, it's a native rewrite.
