Testimonials

"Looking for someone to rescue you from under a pile of surveys, figure out how to fix a database mess, or fix a report that has become impossible to work with because of too many versions and formatting worthy of the exorcist? Jen's your girl. She can run complex analyses with the best of 'em, but she's not too full of herself to help you out of a data entry crunch, either. Jen has shown her ability to step up to every task I've seen thrown at her where a computer or data was involved. When I have a data dilemma, Jen is who I'd call."

"I've worked with Jen for more than 8 years. She's my go-to for SO many areas of my work - from survey programming to survey analysis to report design to editing to database design. Basically whenever I think I have a problem that is outside of my scope I ask Jen if she can sort it out and she always can. And almost immediately she will. It's a real pleasure to work with someone as smart, service-oriented and professional as Jen!"

"Jennifer is a top-notch colleague in the field of market research. I rely on Jennifer to develop data processing plans with a variety of data sets, from the most straight-forward to the most challenging and complex. In addition to the high quality of her work, she can deliver results within demanding time-frames."
