I am a Social Impact Data Analyst and MITx MicroMasters candidate in Data, Economics & Policy Design, dedicated to reducing suffering for humans and factory-farmed animals through evidence-driven policy and program evaluation. My goal is to secure a role in the social science sector (e.g., Monitoring & Evaluation, policy analysis, or program management) or launch a high-impact charity enterprise focused on issues that lead to poverty reduction (e.g., education, microfinance, economic development) and animal welfare. Below are specific ways you can assist me in achieving these goals:

• I seek mentorship from charity incubator founders or staff (e.g., Charity Entrepreneurship) to assess how my econometric and data science skills can ensure entrepreneurial success in launching high-impact charities addressing poverty reduction or animal welfare.
• I need connections to professionals in Monitoring & Evaluation, social impact analysis, or program management at organizations like GiveWell, J-PAL, or UN agencies to explore high-impact roles focused on poverty reduction and build my network.
• I request access to datasets or case studies on the effectiveness of M&E roles, charity incubators, or social enterprises in areas like poverty reduction, education, global health, or animal welfare to refine my impact estimates.

• I am looking for advice from impact investors or social entrepreneurs on securing and scaling funding for a data-driven social enterprise tackling poverty reduction or animal welfare.

• I would benefit from insights from UN or policy professionals on navigating bureaucratic constraints to maximize impact in data-driven roles, particularly in economic development or animal welfare policy.
• I am eager to collaborate on projects evaluating program effectiveness in poverty reduction (e.g., education, global health) or animal welfare, leveraging my expertise in rigorous econometric methods.
