About

MY BACKGROUND

I am a social and behavioral science researcher located at the nexus of Communication and Social Psychology.

 

I have over six years of experience in conducting research, both in organizational contexts at the consultancy Korn Ferry and the production company Population Media Center, as well as in an academic research center.

My expertise is in the area of persuasive messaging, including strategic message design and the psycho-social effects of media. I have applied my background in this area to deduce behavioral insights, evaluate campaigns and programs, and create communication strategies.

 

I have strong competencies in designing studies, employing quantitative methodologies, using analytical and statistical software, and reporting findings through written, visual, and verbal channels.
