Summary
With over 4 years of research agency experience in both qualitative & quantitative methodologies, I have worked across accounts that span a wide variety of industries including pharmaceuticals & skincare, FMCG, Petcare & retail. With a passion for technology and a growing focus in the qualitative space, I am always looking for ways to embrace change and evolve traditional research practices to help meet a client's needs & keep the “why?” behind consumer behaviour at the forefront of research.
