Why I am in the Program:

I work for Ohio State University Lima's Strategy Store. I have worked on applied research projects using both qualitative and quantitative methods including: focus groups, mail and internet survey design and implementation, and program evaluation. I really like doing what I do at OSU, but I feel very limited in my scope of understanding and use of research methods. I wanted a graduate program that would push me to enhance those skills. This program aligns very well with what I currently do and what I hope to do after completing the program.
