About

I am an independent researcher with 15 years of experience in the research industry. This includes 10 years of agency experience at IPSOS Mori. I have also worked at Kantar and TNS UK.

While I love to research any audience and always interested to learn about new areas my areas of focus have been local and regional services. I live in a rural community but have lived in the central belt so have experience in both urban and rural settings.

I have a MSc and BEng in Engineering. I have completed a MRS leadership course and I am PVG member.

I work remotely from my first home in Dumfries & Galloway, in Southwest Scotland. I am well placed to and frequently travel to the Central Belt of Scotland and the North of England.
