I am a social entrepreneur who uses concepts of social psychology in the analysis of "big data". I believe that the type metrics and statistics available to us today allow for insights into behavioral economics that were never possible in the past.
Specifically, with over 16 years of experience in media and entertainment, I have a unique perspective into the effects of mass media on culture at large. As the ways we interact and engage with media change, there arises a need for more media literacy and savvy content creators who are aware of the effects that changing technologies have on the marketplace.

Description
I am looking to work with socially conscious businesses and government organizations.that want to be aware of the impact their products or services have on the general culture. By using my skill set to provide greater insights into consumer behavior I can help companies in their future development so that they have greater impact and influence on market trends rather than reacting to them as they happen.
