I began teaching MAXQDA in 2006, as part of an intensive short course on text analysis funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. I regularly give workshops at professional conferences and at universities, and produced a set of video tutorials on the basics of working with MAXQDA. In 2014, I delivered a keynote lecture at the MAXQDA User Conference on the use of QDA software in ethnographic fieldwork.

I hold a Ph.D. in anthropology, with postdoctoral training in public health, and serve as Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Florida. I have an active research program, and MAXQDA is my tool of choice for managing and analyzing qualitative data.
