Profile

Numerate and literate, I do secondary research (locating, retrieving, interpreting, and summarizing information from print and electronic sources) and primary research (designing questionnaires, analysing survey results, and writing research reports). I have edited a handbook on the Canadian securities industry for foreign investors; ghost written a college chemistry textbook; edited and coded the interview responses of telecommunications company executives; edited a handbook for children's services providers; written client profiles for IBM's science, technology, and research markets; and streamlined enumerable databases. In-house, freelance, and subcontract assignments welcome.
