Meet Amir Michalovich

This September we were lucky enough to hire an amazing new Graduate Academic Assistant (GAA): Amir. He has an impressive resume in terms of his skill set, but perhaps his greatest contribution to our team is his love of both learning and teaching. Amir and David (Amir’s teaching partner) are constantly exceeding their own goals and looking for innovative ways to provide Graduate Students with the optimal learning experience related to qualitative data analysis. Read our full interview with Amir here.
