Before moving into the market research world, I served as the Firm-wide Lead for Opinion Research at Booz Allen Hamilton, and as the Lead Quantitative Researcher for Healthcare at BearingPoint (now Deloitte), supporting a wide variety of Federal and private clients

In my previous life I worked for several years as a political consultant, designing online fundraising tools and assisting candidates with their overall online strategies.
