She’s consulted on over 5,000 research projects in her career, from health to medicine to education. She has multiple degrees, a family, and an insatiable interest in why we do what we do. A curious mind who’s never been afraid to dive into uncharted waters, Asher Beckwitt has built an impressive career for herself and grown into an expert qualitative researcher by making connections that no one else can. In this interview, she spoke with us about her humanistic outlook, entrepreneurship, her 16-track mind, and why she spends so much time in the water.
“I never thought I’d be a researcher.”
Surprisingly honest words from one of Ripple Effect’s brightest minds, not to mention one of our leading qualitative researchers. But unvarnished truth is something that permeates every part of Asher Beckwitt, from how she approaches her work to what keeps her hungry to learn and grow. Today, Asher is the Research & Evaluation Project Director for Ripple Effect, driven to uncover the human motivations behind decisions and answer the crucial questions that guide policies and programs.
While the curiosity and appetite for discovery have always been there, how Asher got here requires a deeper dive into her own motivations—and her mind.
