Miranda Pearson

In January of 2009 Miranda joined OIR as an institutional research and data quality analyst, and brought exactly the right background in order to increase validity and understanding to the data sources behind most of OIR's reports. After all, Miranda spent four years in the Registrar’s Office at the University of Regina and gained an understanding and appreciation of the complexities of the data within the student information system. As an IR analyst, Miranda has been involved in a variety of projects, including the creation of an admissions funnel report, numerous data quality reviews, student retention analysis, and ongoing report and data element documentation.
