About Me

I direct and manage projects, lead my team, and support division growth. Supporting my clients, team, and company. Doing the most to ensure success, client satisfaction, and team engagement. High fives. Relentless enthusiasm. I really, really, love what I do.

I have over 15 years of experience conducting social science research, specializing in quantitative and qualitative methods. My portfolio includes secondary data analysis of population-level survey data; repeated-cross sectional and longitudinal survey data analysis; operational analyses of administrative data; generalized linear modeling; and survival analysis. My qualitative expertise lies in in-depth interviewing and thematic analysis. My research has centered on health and well-being, especially among young adult populations.

I am passionate about research methods, analysis, and communicating complex ideas to diverse audiences.
