Current Position: Survey Statistician in the Social, Economic and Housing Statistics Division, U.S. Census Bureau
Brief Bio: In the past I served as the SIPP's Assistant Survey Director for Content and Evaluation. In that role I was responsible for both formulating and executing the program of research that the survey team undertakes. We were mostly focused on evaluating the SIPP's metadata and paradata (e.g., interview timers, contact history attempts, help screen calls, interviewer evaluations, interviewer notes, interview recordings).
Penn State's Demography program: Penn State's Demography program was excellent training for the kind of work we do at the Census Bureau. On a daily basis I use both the quantitative skills and the sociological schools of thought that I learned while at Penn State.
