I help organizations understand why people think, feel, and behave the way they do — turning interviews, focus groups, and field research into clear, actionable insight. I design and lead qualitative studies end-to-end: research design, participant recruitment support, moderating in-depth interviews and focus groups, and analysis using thematic analysis, IPA, and grounded theory. I deliver clean transcripts, coded data, and insight reports that clients can act on immediately — not just raw notes.
My research background spans health and pharma (oncology, women's health, vaccines, rare diseases, cardiovascular), education, and community development, working directly with health professionals, policymakers, and community stakeholders on studies with real-world impact. I'm known for clear communication, reliable turnaround, and quality you can trust — themes my clients consistently mention in their reviews.
If you need a researcher who can take a study from design through to a report your team can actually use, let's talk about your project.
