Research

 

Data Analytics

Data comes in many shapes and sizes. Whether you’re working with a small survey, a large international dataset, or qualitative interviews, I can help with coding, descriptive analysis, multivariate regressions, modeling, and predictive analytics.
I work in STATA, SPSS, Tableau, and NVivo.

 

Qualitative Work

Qualitative work aims to answer the whys and hows of human behavior, opinions, and experience. From focus groups to ethnographic case studies to in-depth interviews, I have more than a decade of experience designing and administering qualitative research projects. I also run a Qualitative Module for Harvard University’s Strategic Data Project.

Survey Design

A survey is only as effective as its design. In order to gain a deeper understanding of your target audience, you need to ask the right questions to the right people. I can help with survey design, including question type, wording, structure, and format. I can also help you pre-test your survey to ensure that the questions and structure are appropriate for your sample.

 

Data Visualization

Whether you’re looking for an interactive dashboard or a static infographic for your publication, I can help you figure out the best way to present your data in a visually appealing and accessible way.
