About

A bit more about me!

I enjoy working with clients to solve complex research problems, always striving to exceed expectations, uncover insights and deliver impact for clients. I enjoy nurturing existing relationships and initiating and developing new connections.

I’m passionate about making research more inclusive to reflect the people who actually do, or potentially could, use a specific product or service. As experienced and skilled moderator, I understand how to create research environments to encourage research participants to talk openly and honestly about sensitive topics.

I'm a curious, articulate and confident communicator and have enjoyed presenting  at conferences including Quirks and EPHMRA, engaging stakeholders and audiences through compelling story telling.

Some things that make me different:

• Deep understanding of behavioural science (part of my degree)
• Innovative, creative and ability to think differently - good at ideation and future thinking
• Commitment to Quality, flexible and willingness to go the extra mile for clients
• Collaborative approach
• Experience across a variety of different sectors and mixed methodology background
