Michelle and Kathryn talk with Farrah Kharche who was a finished up her masters with a capstone research project at HCD Research and now works as an Associate at Strategy&. Farrah was very intrigued by brand perception and also a timely topic of vaccines! Listen in to hear a little more about her background, her capstone project, and this curious conversation.

Meet our guest!

During her undergraduate experience studying consumer behavior, Farrah developed an interest in behavioral science. She pursued this interest by conducting independent research on the impact of communications of transformation on consumer expectations and product satisfaction. Subsequently, Farrah began working as a research assistant in the behavioral research lab at the Fisher College of Business; in this role, she further explored consumer behavior by directing experiments for Marketing professors and analyzing data. Farrah then matriculated at The University of Pennsylvania’s Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences (MBDS) program in the fall of 2020. During her time at the University of Pennsylvania, Farrah conducted research concerning tax aversion during shopping and devised premiumization and marketing strategies and testing methods for various Fortune 500 CPG firms. After completing her MBDS coursework, Farrah concluded her degree by completing her capstone research project with HCD research on COVID-19 vaccine brand perceptions in the U.S. This topic was of particular interest to her as COVID-19 vaccine brand perceptions translate into vaccination adoption and compliance with health guidelines, thereby informing consumer behavior.

Farrah graduated from The Ohio State University with a BS in Business Administration specializing in Finance and Marketing with a minor in Consumer Sciences. She recently graduated from the MBDS program and will be joining Strategy& as an associate.

This week, Michelle talks with Michael Murphy who was a recent intern at HCD Research. They discuss a little about him and his personal experiences while also diving into the methodologies he learned under Michelle's mentorship. You could call him a master of behavior and decision sciences!

Meet our guest!

After completing coursework in microeconomics and behavioral economics in the second half of his undergraduate experience, Michael's professional ambitions largely shifted towards the behavioral sciences. He saw this field as an exciting intersection of his interests in health, psychology, and behavior change. Michael's newfound interest prompted him to complete an independent study about the neuroscience underlying health-related decision making, which then encouraged him to explore professional degree programs. Ultimately, Michael enrolled in the Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences (MBDS) program at the University of Pennsylvania in the Fall of 2020. Throughout the MBDS program, he contributed to multiple projects ranging from pediatric type II diabetes to COVID-19. Michael rounded out his masters degree by completing a capstone project with HCD Research centered on consumer safety priorities at entertainment venues. Michael appreciates the opportunity to have learned about HCD's MaxImplicit methodology under the mentorship of employees Michelle and Kathryn.

Michael received his BS in Neuroscience with a Health Studies Certificate from Dickinson College. He recently completed his coursework in the Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences program at the University of Pennsylvania.
