I’ve worked in many types of environments including academic, healthcare, non profits, market research, public health, government, software, small biz/start up, and large corporate (as well as food service, dry cleaning, pharmacy, delivery person, personal assistant, etc). I’ve consulted for a bunch of academic institutions and for-profit and non-profit organizations, including the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation, UC Berkeley, Stanford University and Hospital, UCSF, UCLA, the Neuropsychiatric Institute at UCLA, and the Pediatric Pain Program at the UCLA Hospital. I love big ideas and providing the structure around them to ensure their realization. I’m also a big fan of using the amazing technologies and networks that we have to connect ourselves and help support each other in enriching (and fun!) ways.

I'm a data analyst and market research consultant with deep expertise in survey design, statistical analysis, and data visualization. I love digging into data and uncovering the stories beneath it--whether that means programming a complex survey, building a regression model, or turning messy datasets into clear, actionable insights.
My market research work spans end-to-end study design and execution, including concept testing, conjoint analysis, and pricing studies (Gabor-Granger, Van Westendorp). I have specific industry experience in health care, pharma/biotech, SaaS, and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG). On the survey programming side, I'm a Qualtrics expert, and highly proficient in Alchemer, SurveyMonkey, TypeForm, and other platforms (including advanced branching and skip logic, quotas, translated surveys, embedded data, custom JavaScript/HTML, API integration, and panel provider integration).
For data analysis, I was trained as an academic biostatistician (M.P.H., Tufts University) and bring rigorous statistical chops to every project (regression analysis, segmentation, cluster analysis, and more). I principally use Stata, SPSS, and Excel. I visualize findings in Tableau and Power BI, and deliver polished reports in PowerPoint or Word.
My background includes roles at UC San Diego (data analyst and research associate) and Harvard Medical School (health economics data analyst), giving me a strong foundation in both research methodology and real-world data challenges.
Here's a snapshot of what I can help with:
• Survey programming — Qualtrics, Alchemer, SurveyMonkey, and more, with advanced logic, quotas, and custom scripting
• Market research — concept testing, pricing studies, conjoint analysis, segmentation
• Statistical analysis — regression, clustering, mixed methods, and robust modeling
• Data visualization — Tableau, Power BI, and presentation-ready reporting
• Data management — cleaning, merging, and wrangling complex datasets
I'm a responsive, collaborative freelancer who's genuinely passionate about data. Whatever your project, from small surveys to a full research study, feel free to send me a message or schedule a call to discuss your needs.
I look forward to working with you!

I help teams turn ambiguous problems into clear plans and confident decisions. With 10+ years across consumer, enterprise, and healthcare, including work with MAANG and Fortune 500 companies, I work at the intersection of research and program management, designing the study and running the operation that delivers it on time and on budget.
My background is a little unusual, and that's the value: a foundation in clinical social work and public administration means I approach projects holistically, with real fluency in people, policy, and systems. I've led research across qual, quant, and mixed methods, and I've managed complex programs end to end, scoping, stakeholder alignment, timelines, and delivery.
As a former Program Director, I directed a portfolio exceeding $10M and built scalable frameworks across multiple settings, taking underperforming metrics to top-tier outcomes. I've partnered with MAANG-scale product teams and Fortune 500 organizations, holding delivery to a high standard while keeping teams motivated and on track.
Whether you need a researcher to uncover what your users actually need, or a project manager to herd the moving pieces and ship it, I can bridge people, policy, and technology to move your work forward. Let's talk.
