Get to Know Our Interns: Emma Clarke

This summer, we have been working with three talented interns, offering them the chance to learn more about the world of data and insights-driven strategic consulting and helping them to hone their research skills.

We’ve also been sharing short interviews with each intern where we’ve chatted about their experiences working with us and what they’ve learned. In this third and final interview, we’re speaking with psychology major Emma Clarke who is studying at Tulane University in New Orleans.

Fluent: What made you want to intern at Fluent Research?

Emma: As a psychology major, there are many different paths that I could take after graduation. I was really interested in figuring out what path I’d like to take, so I wanted to explore what doing a type of research would be like. I also have a relative who is a client of Fluent Research. Seeing how well respected Fluent is by them and the research Fluent has done for them made me very interested as well.

Fluent: What have you learned so far?

Emma: I have learned many different skills so far! I think the most important thing that I have learned is that it is crucial to be firm and confident in your findings for a client. I also have learned the many different ways that research can be conducted and how to guide an interview through observing projects.

Fluent: What has been the most interesting thing you have done?

Emma: The most interesting thing that I have done is gone through interviews of military spouses who were widowed by suicide. Although the interviews were very emotional and sad, their stories were touching and they had very unique perspectives that allowed them to contribute to interesting research.

Fluent: What do you hope to do after college?

Emma: While I am still not 100% sure what I’d like to do after college, I am leaning towards doing research similar to the market research conducted by Fluent. Alternatively, I might be interested in doing more general psychology research. Either way, I will probably be going to graduate school after college to pursue a master’s or a Ph.D.
