Fun Facts About Me:
Qualitative or quantitative?
My training has been in quantitative methods (but no more reaction times, please!) but more and more I have been moving towards qualitative analysis — I find that in trying to understand situations, multiple perspectives are always helpful.
Where can we find you on a Saturday afternoon?
In the summer, I'll be near a body of water — pool, lake, river, ocean...they're all good. In the winter, I'm usually baking something that I then get to share with family, friends, and coworkers.
What's a random fact about you?
My family is spread out across the globe — Singapore, Australia, US, Taiwan — and I've been fortunate enough to have been able to visit them all where they live! Being able to travel and visit family at the same time is the best of both worlds.
