Arlington, Virginia, United States

I serve as a primary point of contact for 28-33 higher education clients, helping them prioritize challenges and questions and identifying research solutions to address those needs. After setting a research agenda, I manage to project lifecycle, including the management of research teams across a range of methodologies (quantitative, qualitative, survey, and secondary literature-based research). I present that research to key stakeholders at the client’s institution to provide recommendations for implementation and future research. The colleges and universities that I serve are located in the United States as well as abroad (including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom). I represent Hanover in client presentations both through remote and in-person meetings. In addition to project management, I directly manage 1-2 researchers, helping to mentor their career paths and train them in additional research skills and resources.

As a content analyst, I conducted research for U.S. and foreign higher education clients based on secondary literature, including quantitative data sets. The custom market research reports sought to determine new or current academic program viability, assess competitive market saturation, identify best practices to address strategic priorities, and determine current and future trends in occupational fields. In addition to my work as a researcher, I served as a mentor to new researchers, training them on report structure and analytical strategies.
