I deliver high impact research and analytics focused on users' experiences. As a former teacher, I know how to manage moving pieces. I orchestrate stakeholders, generate consensus, and deliver meaningful analyses on budget and on time. I'm strategic, efficient, and endlessly curious. I've been doing analytics my whole life -- starting when I quit my high school basketball team to manage their statistics!
