Psychometrician. Marketer. Storyteller.

Learning how to write a press release on a manual typewriter is one element that is transfused with her insatiable appetite for sketching the world through numbers and equations.
Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series with its psychohistory not only captured her imagination where human behavior could be predicted through mathematical calculations, but it was blended into her mindscape of seeing the world that could be described with fanciful numerical notations, which led her to taming the mythical beast known as the Algorithm found in so many parts of our commercial world from SEO to listings on commercial seller’s platforms.
Melding Quantitative Research With Marketing & Storytelling
Being able to teleport between the quantitative universe and the storyverse, Dr. Raab can weave a tale from the outlines and sketches of demographic statistics that stirs the heart and engages the mind. She has done this in political settings, carefully and strategically placing smoke and mirrors to project a narrative that would help the grassroots organizations that she was creating messaging for.
Dr. Raab dives down into the catacombs of data to find nuggets of information that are hidden on the surface. Finding subgroups or segments within a data set is like finding gold in a mining cave for her. Unlike many data analysts, she understands the unique peculiaritiesof data research when it is derived from people. Years of training and experience as a data research consultant have honed her skills in the collection, management, analysis, and interpretation of people data.
