About
I am a PhD Social Psychologist with an exceptionally broad and deep background in research. I have academic publications in social psychology journals, epidemiology research in public health journals, and a career of consumer research in advertising (I helped start one of the first online international consumer research networks). I am an expert in a wide variety of both quantitative and qualitative research methods. I’ve conducted research studies ranging in scope from small local surveys to large international studies. I have learned to uncover powerful and fresh insights by asking questions other researchers don’t think to ask and by exploring data with an unusually diverse set of analytic and statistical tools.
