Welcome!

I’m Josephine (she/her), and since 2013, I’ve designed and managed end-to-end research studies that leverage interviews, surveys, and data viz to understand systems, streamline workflows, and enhance community-academic partnerships for grant-funded projects in public health, education, and workforce development.

Whether I’m consulting with clients, mentoring research assistants, diving into analysis, or crafting a narrative with data-centered recommendations, I bring curiosity, empathy, rigor, and purpose to every project I contribute to.

I’m eager to expand into new ways of making a difference through analysis with senior researcher roles in people insights, consumer insights, market research, usability research, or evaluation research, alongside passionate colleagues and supportive leaders in a people-first organization.

When my kindergarten teacher asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I knew I wanted to help people but never imagined it would be through research. Here is some introspection (and infographics!) about my journey from academia to solving real-world problems with research and the transitions in between.
