I have nothing but positive things to say. The team was amazing — especially dealing with A LOT of shifts, turns, etc. You were all able to pivot seamlessly, several times. The clients were also very happy and impressed. They were “newbies,” and you were all able to lead them patiently and clearly.
You were so critical in making it a success, from managing constantly pivoting timelines, pulling in the right recruitment partners, and being flexible on platforms/approach- we literally could not have done any of it without your partnership.

Marissa worked with multiple specialty pharma partners to recruit rare disease patients and caregivers who met rigorous screening criteria and strict quotas. For the in-homes - she took great care in aligning with both the moderators and recruitment partners on finding ways to most efficiently field in-home interviews spanning across NY, NJ and PA (a larger geo radius was needed due to the rarity of the condition). She did this by creating a color-coded custom map and logistics document, identifying respondent locations, nearby hotels, and travel times for all ... TWICE! Marissa showed her mastery of pivoting as she was faced with rescheduling all in-homes after the moderator informed her that he caught laryngitis just a few days prior to the first interview. Despite these challenges, Marissa showed grace and tenacity throughout, leading to successful interviews and multiple accolades from all involved on the study. Way to go, Marissa and team!
