While attaining her psychology degree with an emphasis on research and statistics, Meg decided to combine her love of research with her love of movies in a career in market research for film.  Meg moved to LA and started out in the coding department at the National Research Group (NRG) and quickly rose to carve out a key role in designing surveys with clients, writing banner requests, authoring toplines, determining norms, etc., for the majority of projects NRG was working on at any given time.

During her tenure at NRG, Meg helped the organization smoothly transition several core processes, for example, moving from shipping paper and video tape surveys to online programmed surveys with video files.  Helping clients and coworkers alike, Meg was a go-to for expertise on how to write a troublesome questionnaire and a dependable resource for information and history on previous testing approaches.  In recent years, she has sharpened her analytic skills working on screening reports as a consultant.

Meg attained her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University.
