Kirsty Nunez
A Focused Founder
Australian native, Kirsty Nunez, first came to the states in 1981, following her interest in academic training. Her pursuit of knowledge has shaped her life over the three decades since she arrived at the University of California San Diego campus, the place where she met her husband, a professor of biomedical engineering, and began a educational path in research psychology and advanced statistics. This path led her to New Orleans and later to the private sector. It was here that Nunez found that her passion and skills spanned both academic and real world domains, and when she got to the field of market research, she found she was home. In 1991, Nunez established Focus Research, Inc. In the years since, the company has gone from strength to strength.
Although Nunez is well trained in the analysis of data, her priorities lie with her customers. "At Focus Research, Inc, our goal is to build a strong relationship with each and every client—to serve them well, to fully understand their business and how the research we do for them fits into their strategic and tactical planning, their marketing and business planning. We have a history of building long term relationships with our clients, enabling us to bring longitudinal knowledge of their business to the table."
The knowledge that Nunez imparts is empowered by the knowledge she has and continues to acquire. As a student and a teacher, continuing education enables Nunez and the Focus Research staff to offer their clients the most current and effective research services available.
Nunez's educational merits include
BA, Psychology, with honors, University of New South Wales (Australia)
