Highly experienced in…
- working with a wide range of audiences
- quality data collection
- meaningful analysis and reporting
My wealth of experience of working with a range of different audience groups using effective and non-intrusive data gathering tools (both quantitative and qualitative), means that I am always sensitive to the needs of the different audiences that I am working with, particularly with non-traditional, hard to reach audiences.
"The scope of work has required her to consult with a range of audiences including teachers, young people, families and adults with disabilities; the universally successful outcomes again testament to her expertise and flexibility."
– Head of Formal Learning
Royal Museums Greenwich
I have expertise in collecting evidence from a wide range of audiences using a variety of traditional and creative data gathering tools such as focus groups, creative workshops, feedback forms, observation and one-to-one interviews, post-it notes, sticky dot rating, creative comments cards, graffiti walls, drawing and modelling, ratings using smiley faces and traffic light symbols as well as personal meaning mapping.
"Nicky’s a leader in the field in both qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods, being equally versed in the theory and practice."
– Head of Learning
I am skilled in complex analysis of qualitative data. I communicate effectively and provide useful, meaningful reports. I always work closely with the client to agree the intended purpose of each report from the outset.
"Nicky's written communication skills are strong with her reports being clear, insightful and focussed; she displays a clear understanding of the clients, funders and stakeholder requirements."
– Museum Development Officer
"Her reports are always thorough, pertinent and organised in a way that makes recommendations and findings easy to communicate and action."
