Nour El-Irani

I am a quantitative research and mental health professional with a strong foundation in program evaluation, psychometrics, and clinical assessment design, supported by applied research experience in academic and clinical settings. My work focuses on the development, evaluation, and refinement of assessment instruments and programs used to measure psychological, behavioral, and educational outcomes. In my role as a Research Analyst at the University of Toronto (OISE), I designed and administered structured surveys using Qualtrics, managed large quantitative datasets, and conducted advanced statistical analyses in SPSS, including regression modeling and bootstrapping, to support evidence-based evaluation of programs and research initiatives . This work required close alignment between research questions, measurement tools, and analytic strategies, with a strong emphasis on validity, reliability, and interpretability of outcomes. My academic training in Developmental Psychology & Education with a specialization in Program Evaluation and Instrument Design has provided formal grounding in linking assessment tools to policy-relevant questions, stakeholder decision-making, and outcome measurement in applied settings . I bring a structured approach to instrument development, including construct definition, item design, data collection planning, and quantitative evaluation of results. Complementing my research background, my clinical and applied experience includes conducting assessments, monitoring progress, and adapting intervention strategies in therapeutic and educational environments, particularly within behavioral and developmental contexts . This dual exposure allows me to bridge technical measurement rigor with real-world clinical applicability. Overall, my profile sits at the intersection of psychometrics, quantitative analysis, program evaluation, and clinical assessment, with a strong orientation toward data-informed decision-making, policy relevance, and the responsible use of measurement tools in mental health and educational systems.
