MARKETING & CONSULTING EXPERTISE
SENIOR RESEARCH ANALYST — SMARTY PANTS
I am a qualitative and quantitative Senior Research Analyst at Smarty Pants, skilled at transforming consumer insights into actionable deliverables for Fortune 500 companies in industries such as media & entertainment, toys & games, health & wellness, and retail.
Though I hold expertise across a variety of disciplines, I specialize in the exploration of how kids, teens and parents interpret & utilize stories to understand themselves and the world around them. Accordingly, I apply my skill in narrative analysis and message design to create insights and deliverables for clients interested in learning more about the power of storytelling.
