Research & Data Consulting

Rigorous Analysis. Actionable Insight.

Research design and data analysis for organizations that need more than numbers — they need insight.

I am a cognitive psychologist with 25 years of experience designing studies, analyzing complex data, and communicating findings to diverse audiences. I apply the same methodological standards I use in peer-reviewed research to practical consulting engagements — helping organizations understand what their data means and what to do about it.

Engagement Model

I am not available for hourly commodity data work — my value is in research expertise and interpretation, not execution alone.
