She then worked for several years in the research and insights departments of major public relations agencies, including Ogilvy and Edelman, where she managed the much-publicized Edelman Trust Barometer. She founded Southpaw Insights in 2008 to conduct meaningful research that helps organizations understand what people think, feel, and do.
