Work Experience :

I have worked in applied research units in non-profit as well as for-profit organizations. I was a research associate in a research and evaluation unit at a membership and fundraising organization headquartered in NYC.  I later worked as an internal consultant in the corporate offices of JP Morgan Chase to evaluate the effectiveness of training and development programs and working with internal clients to develop measurement strategies for their programs. In all of these experiences, my responsibilities included managing mid-scale program evaluation projects, meeting with internal clients to identify research needs and to develop measurement strategies for their programs, developing various measures (e.g., surveys and structured interviews), conducting quantitative and qualitative analyses, and presenting findings to management. Recently, I worked with Dr. Allen Kraut on a consulting project, for which I conducted a literature review to identify trends and research findings about the specific topic of the study, identified measures to include in the study and wrote reports and presentations geared for top management.
