Profile Summary

I am driven to do research - all kinds of research. For me, research is like breathing. It's fun. I learn something new every day. Nothing beats the feeling of analyzing data to identify solutions to problems and ways to improve.

By training, I’m a biomedical research scientist. I earned a PhD in molecular pharmacology and worked in a laboratory for 15 years. I wore a lab coat and had close personal relationships with test tubes and pipettes. I published papers with titles like "Combinatorial Discovery of Tumor Targeting Peptides Using Phage Display”. Then, the unexpected occurred: I became allergic to mice and I could no longer work in labs.

Research skills are transferable. I apply that competence to my business.  Research Communiqué does business, marketing, and policy research to find data-driven insights and recommendations. For businesses and organizations that don’t have in-house analytics, we offer on-demand research and analysis capacity so they can achieve success by using data and information to explore and evaluate opportunities for value.

WHO AM I?

- I have a vision that small businesses and organizations can use research to improve, grow, and flourish

- I'm resilient; I have the self-confidence to try, fail, and try again

- I've faced, and have overcome, the fear that accompanies adversity

- My personal goal is to work hard and do my best always

- My friends and colleagues have told me that I inspire them

- I'm driven by the curiosity always to learn more

- I have the competence to accomplish my objectives

- I communicate ideas easily and clearly

WHAT VALUE DO I BRING TO MY CLIENTS?

- I'm intuitive

- I'm objective: "The anchor of reality"

- I define, clarify, gather information, criticize, and test

- I'm patient and empathetic

- I'm dependable and responsible
