Background

About Anna McCarthy

I am a driven mixed methods social researcher, experienced in facilitating both qualitative and quantitative research with children and adults. I also bring more than five years of prior experience in project and relationship management, prior to my postgraduate degree. Passionate about the role research can play in policy development and ultimately the improvement of people’s lives, I am eager to apply my technical skills and academic knowledge as both a researcher and project manager. I have a demonstrated history of excellent written and oral communication skills, a wide variety of research skills, relationship management and contract negotiations, training and coaching skills, and conference presentation experience, alongside a strong knowledge base in human development, education, mental health, and epidemiologies of violence. A livelong learner, I apply my strengths as a dedicated research professional with a Bachelor’s Degree focused in Child Studies and Human & Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University as well as a Masters Degree in Global Mental Health from the University of Edinburgh.
