Alice has over four years' research experience. She has an MSc in Social Research Methods from the University of Surrey and has significant qualitative and quantitative methodology, desk research and project-management skills.
Alice has specialised in areas of health and food that have a social-enterprise focus. Qualitative methods she has used to support her work include: research groups, web-usability groups, workshops, case-study visits, in-home visits, and in-depth phone interviews.
The following projects have made particular use of her experience and involved full evaluations:
- 'What's Cooking?' and 'Cooking Bus', both funded by the Food Standards Agency
- 'Something to Chew On', a project delivered by Manchester United Foundation
- 'Voice It!', developed by Radiowaves and the Ministry of Justice.
Alice has gained practical and management skills through her involvement in phone, online and paper-based quantitative surveys, for TDA, E.ON and Royal Bank of Scotland.
Over the last year, Alice has coordinated a Reading Partnership scheme through which EdComs staff volunteer in a local primary school to support children's literacy.
