I love developing strategies to make information useful to others. I have strong technical skills which are reinforced by my frequent consumption and production of institutional data, academic publications and work as a graduate research methods instructor (proficiency in SPSS, SAS, inferential statistics, survey design, etc). I understand the importance of designing studies that are technically rigorous, demonstrate best ethical practices and protect the privacy and confidentiality of clients and are also easy to read and accessible to diverse audiences.

I published well reviewed book, The Climate Diet (2008) (collected by more than 800 libraries), which informs general readers about the threat of global warming, why people should care, and steps citizens can take to reduce their carbon footprints.
Authored eight peer-reviewed articles and five book chapters in academic publications.
