As an outgrowth of my work at George Mason University, I independently started my own consulting company providing qualitative analysis research support. In this position, I have consulted with doctoral candidates, faculty, non-profit, government, and community organizations from multiple disciplines and research backgrounds throughout the United States and internationally. I am a listed QSR International consultant. I aid clients at any stage of the research process with: (1) identifying appropriate methods for their project or proposal, (2) constructing their literature review, (3) designing their instrument for data collection, (4) performing data analysis, and (5) providing guidance in the write-up of their analysis. In addition, I have developed tools and resources to teach clients how to execute specific qualitative analysis approaches within NVivo 10. I use these tools to tailor one-on-one and group NVivo software trainings to meet researchers and organizations methodological project needs and to independently perform data analysis for individual, group, and community projects.Publications:Fair, A., Beckwitt, A.E., Wujck, D., Wilkins, C.H., Halmon, U., Disher, A., & Champion, V.

I created a university-wide qualitative analysis research consulting service for researchers at George Mason University. I taught over 400 doctoral/master's students, 250 faculty, and 150 community members from multiple disciplines qualitative research methods and NVivo qualitative analysis software. In this position, I customized individual, small group, and classroom training sessions to meet students, faculty, and staff project needs. I developed course materials to teach patrons qualitative methods and how to apply them within NVivo software. I collaborated with faculty and graduate students on current projects for publication including: researching theoretical frameworks, literature reviews, performing data analysis, and write-up. I presented training sessions on NVivo qualitative analysis software in the community, university classes, brown bag lunches, and annual technology fairs. I built and maintained web pages for the George Mason University qualitative analysis service and I created and produced a professional educational video on Using NVivo Software for the University library.
