Welcome!
I am a mixed-methods researcher with 8+ years experience and a passion for human behavior and decision-making. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science and International Relations and a M.S. in Applied Economics and Econometrics (MS AEE) from the University of Southern California (USC).
​
I have conducted surveys and survey experiments, interviews, focus groups, regression analysis, and social network analysis. I also have demonstrated experience with various ML techniques (tree-based models, text analysis, topic models, dictionary methods, sentiment analysis, PCA/factor analysis) and with usability testing, card sorting, and cognitive testing.
​
Currently, I work as a Senior Applied Statistical Analyst (Senior Client/Branch Insight Analyst) at Edward Jones where I help optimize branch practices and rollout strategies of new products and tools.
