I have over twelve years of experience in social and educational research, including designing research projects and evaluation frameworks, collecting qualitative and quantitative data using interviews and questionnaires, analysing data and writing reports.
I have worked with a range of organisations and projects, from city wide local government policy-based research to evaluating theatre programmes for funding purposes, to supporting university research.
I start with building collaborative working relationships with clients, to meet organisational needs and requirements. Get in contact to discuss your particular needs and discover how I can support your project.
