Education
-
MSc Social Research MethodsCity University of London2012 - 2013City's Social Research Methods MSc course develops skills in qualitative and quantitative research methods and in making theoretically informed, interdisciplinary policy-relevant research. I have completed a Master’s dissertation reporting on primary research written, collected, and analyzed by me on The Habits and Attitudes of Primary Caregivers of Children Four and Under on London’s Public Transportation System. My research was an exploration as it was a topic that had never before been researched before and my findings, invaluable. I employed a mixed methods approach involving observation, semi-structured interviews, and a self-written survey. Project implications included policy making, sociology, UX-design, architecture, and marketing.
