About

Let me do the research for you.

I was born curious. I have always been a bookworm, a polymath, and a nerd. A precocious reader, I had already read many of the works of Shakespeare, Dumas, the Brontes, Dickens, and Tolstoy by the time I was 10. However, my favorite thing to read and the most prized possession of my youth was my encyclopedia set. This was, of course, before the days of Google! As a child, I used to spend hours every day cross-referencing articles, my bedroom floor riddled with opened volumes of my World Book set. I was born to become a researcher. I went to school and got a master's in Sociology. The subject appealed to my broad interests and my love of rigorous inquiry. While I was in school, I landed an intership with a public policy research group. In four months, I independently wrote a 60 page, comprehensive analysis of the implications of Tennessee's TANF waiver expiration. Needless to say, they hired me. After a few years, I had to move several times. Most of the jobs I found were very data heavy. Along the way, I picked up some formidable SAS, SQL, and Excel skills. I find the work kind of boring to be frank. I am here, because I need to spice up my life with a jucier assignment. (What a sad life I lead. Lol. I promise I am not as boring as I sound. I am also a musician and used to front a rock band)!

Work Terms

I have a pretty busy life. I would like to take on a modest project that requires less than ten hours of work a week. Email is best for me, but I can take calls after 5pm during weekdays and anytime during the weekends. Payment for services can be made via Paypal.
