The Global Research Team
Global Research is a team of university qualified, skilled and experienced, passionate market and social researchers. We are grounded in a diversity of social science disciplines which ensures rigor and enables our global-perspective approach to problem solving and project delivery. We are devoted to staying up to date with new technology and research approaches.
Global Research team members have diverse personal experiences and backgrounds, with travel being a common interest. That diversity and enjoyment of life and people enhances our research.
Patrick's leadership style has been refined by successfully executing a broad range of research projects, sometimes in uniquely challenging circumstances. The Global Research team is driven by integrity and delivering high quality ethical research.
For each Global Research project we assemble the most appropriate team, based on the needs of the project and the skills and experience of our personnel.

Megan Apse
Senior Researcher
Megan is currently in the research phase of a Master's degree in Applied Science at Lincoln University, which complements her professional interest in qualitative research and in writing. Megan has previous experience as a content-writer, in assistant teaching roles at a tertiary level, as an Employment Consultant and in a number of volunteer and community roles.
Megan previously enjoyed learning about people and the world by directly experiencing it through independent travel. Recently, a more theoretical approach to learning has seen Megan develop an interest in social theory, which she has undertaken in an academic setting.
