Profile Summary

My career has focused on designing and carrying out research studies on a variety of topics. During my training I was the lead in charge of data cleaning, documentation, and analysis on a federally funded multi-million dollar grant. Following my training, I went to work in the private sector where I conducted research on many topics globally. Now, as owner of a consulting firm, I have subcontracted for state projects and conducted work for universities as well as continuing work in the private sector. My work focuses on designing research studies with specific questions in mind, making complex data readily understood by laypersons, and creating beautiful and intuitive visualizations.
