I come bearing nearly a decade experience working hands on with consumer surveys. My career started working for a survey software company's support team. During my time on that team, I became the Subject Matter Expert in Great Survey Design, Security (SSL implementation), Panel Studies, and Remote Work. This time taught me to be curious and communicative. After leaving the Support team, I joined a small team on the overall Programming Services team. Our team -- Panel Services -- focused on custom survey builds and data collection. During this time, I learned to take client questions, turn them into branded (and mobile-friendly) surveys, and distribute them to targeted audiences. I'm here for any of your survey needs. From designing and programming, to distribution and reporting. Have a list of respondents? I can set up a campaign to send invitations, with reminders. Want customer feedback after they make a purchase from your Etsy store? We can do that and have their responses land right in your inbox. Need to gather the opinions of 80 year old grandmothers who commute via motorcycle? I probably can't field that, but I can talk to you about some changes to targeting and maybe we can meet in the middle somewhere.
