Services
Doctoral Research Design and Methodology Support
For PhD, DNP, EdD, and Master’s students working with survey or quantitative data
I help graduate students move past common research roadblocks by strengthening study design and methodology. Support includes survey design in Qualtrics, variable operationalization, data structure planning, and preparing studies for defensible analysis.
Support areas include:
Qualtrics survey design, logic, and validation
Variable operationalization and measurement decisions
Data structure planning and assumption readiness
Methodology review and committee feedback support
Statistical Analysis & Results Interpretation
For students and applied research projects that need clear, defensible results
I support graduate students with statistical analysis and results interpretation for theses, dissertations, and manuscripts. This includes selecting appropriate models, running analyses, checking assumptions, and translating results into clear, defensible language for committees and reviewers. Support focuses on analysis and interpretation; students retain full ownership of all final analyses and written work.
Applied Analytics & Decision Support
For small organizations and research-driven teams
I help organizations use data to inform real decisions. This work focuses on exploratory analysis, dashboards, and applied modeling using Excel, R, and Python — emphasis on clarity, speed, and data driven recommendations to help your business or organization.
Projects may involve one or more service areas; scope and pricing are determined after an initial consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. I do not write content on behalf of students. All support is consultative and educational, focused on research design, data analysis, and interpretation. Students remain the authors of their work.
-
In most cases, yes. Universities and IRBs generally allow external methodological and statistical support, including survey design guidance, data preparation, assumption checks, and help interpreting results — similar to working with a university statistics consulting center or an external methodologist.
-
I support students at any stage, including survey design (Qualtrics), data cleaning, assumption checks, statistical analysis, interpretation of results, and preparing materials for committee or reviewer feedback.
-
Timelines depend on scope, but most projects range from 1–6 weeks.
-
Pricing is based on project scope rather than hourly billing. After a short call to understand your needs, I provide a clear estimate before any work begins. Most projects begin at $1,000 depending on scope and timeline
