Survey Research | Financial Model Review | Research Memos
I run survey projects end to end for research teams and consultancies, and I also review financial models and write research memos built on cited studies. Right now I'm running the third survey in a row for the same client, and it goes to more than 1,000 school leaders. I handle the personalized outreach, the follow-up sequence, the response tracker and an end-of-day update to the client. I'm also launching an AI-assisted voice survey in Voiceform that goes out to about 125 community organizations. On the finance side, I was an investment banking summer analyst at Bank of America (TMT) and Credit Suisse (M&A). This month I've reviewed seven equity research models for a financial data company, checking the driver structure behind each forecast. I also write research memos for a science newsletter, where I find the strongest studies on a topic and separate strong evidence from weak. For another client since January, I've supported a high school student's research publication. The original survey plan wasn't going to produce usable data, so I moved the project onto ELS:2002, a public federal dataset. I ran the regressions in R and wrote up the findings across two analysis reports. That client gave me a 5.0 review and has kept extending the contract for ten months. What I can take off your plate: • Building and testing surveys in SurveyMonkey or Voiceform, including the logic, mobile checks and a clean data export before launch • Respondent outreach and recruiting by email, with follow-ups and a live tracker you can check at any time • Reviews of equity research and three-statement models, covering the drivers, formulas and assumptions • Research memos and literature reviews that separate strong evidence from weak • Analysis of survey or public data in R or Python, written up in plain language I study philosophy, politics, and economics at USC, where my coursework covers research design, regression and causal inference. Before any work starts, I send a short written plan with the scope, milestones and cost. Send me your survey, model or research question and I'll reply with that plan within a day.
