Research Expertise

My primary research experience is with Phenomenology, but I also have worked with Saybrook students using other qualitative and quantitative methods, including narrative research, thematic analysis and grounded theory. My undergraduate degree was in quantitative methods, so I have some experience and comfort with survey studies and statistical analysis.

Expertise Working with Saybrook Students

I have worked extensively with Saybrook students in the last phases of their Ph.D. journey's, helping them to clarify their research focus as well as to create a structure and format to complete their essays, practicum and dissertation projects in a timely manner.
