Biography

Columbia College Chicago - Music

Program Evaluator/Research Methodologist
Clifton
McReynolds
Chicago, Illinois
Research Methodologist - a research scientist who helps plan, execute, analyze, and present data. Generally, we are acutely aware of the methodological needs of your research question(s).

I have experiences as an educator, researcher, and analyst that have shaped my path to becoming a methodologist. My projects have included advanced analysis in education data as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. I have made it a goal to be well-versed across research designs:

Quantitative - survey design, psychometrics, and behavioral statistics
Qualitative - document analysis, program evaluation, and interviews
Mixed Methods - concurrent collection of quantitative and qualitative designs

I have worked with in house data as well as secondary sources where I drew upon my working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Power Point, and Access). I have analyzed data within software packages such as SPSS, SAS, R, and HLM as well as those dedicated to qualitative data like NVIVO and Dedoose.

I can offer any organization creative solutions, focused management skills, and reliable analysis and bring with me my experiences of international understanding and educational problem solving.
