I have had the opportunity to lead/participate in data collection for multiple projects. For three projects, I led survey writing. This entailed ideating questions, determining sequence, pre-testing, and revising. In a supporting role, I've participated in the sampling strategy and implementation. I have led data cleaning for two of these projects. Much of this work necessitates cooperation and consultation of local constituents and government officials.
