Research Consultation
Good research starts long before the data come in. Whether you're a grad student with an impending dissertation deadline, a faculty member prepping a grant or manuscript, or an organization trying to turn program data into something you can actually report on, I help you build research that's methodologically sound from the first question to the final write-up.
Areas of Support Include:
Research Question & Hypothesis Development: Before you can design a study, you need a question sharp enough to answer. I'll help you refine a vague idea into a focused, testable research question or hypothesis that actually holds up under scrutiny.
Study Design: The right design decisions early on save you from unfixable problems later. I help you choose and structure a study design that fits your research question, your resources, and your timeline.
Survey Review : Already have a survey drafted? I'll review it for clarity, bias, construct validity, and analysis-readiness so that the data you collect is actually the data you need.
Interview & Focus Group Guide Development: For qualitative work, your guide is your primary data collection instrument. I help you build interview and focus group protocols that draw out rich, relevant responses without leading your participants.
Data Analysis: From choosing the right approach to running the analysis itself, I help you make sense of your data accurately and explain what it actually means in plain language.
Writing & Publication Support — Turning results into a polished manuscript, report, or dissertation chapter is its own skill. I help you write clearly, structure your findings persuasively, and get your work ready for submission or publication.
