I h... ave a strong grasp of both theory and quantitative and qualitative research methods (including data analysis and written presentation of results). Additional areas of emphasis include demography, program evaluation and design, community development, and statistics. I independently designed and carried out large, grant-funded quantitative research projects in which I developed methodology, collected and analyzed survey and interview data, and presented findings at departmental, institutional, regional, and national symposiums. My sociological research and expertise was recognized institutionally, regionally, and nationally, and I have experience working with department heads, undergraduate peers, national policymakers, and outside organizations in sociological techniques. Further work includes outsourced work as a research assistant for a national sociological study in which I assisted in data collection and trend identification processes.read more
