BIO

Julie Sweetman is a long-time data manager and survey design/analysis consultant with the Program for Research on Black Americans (PRBA), housed at the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. She earned her BA in Psychology and Economics, and MA in Survey Methodology, from the University of Michigan.

She is currently serving as Data Manager for the National Survey of American Life: A 25-Year Follow-Up. This project focuses on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, going back to respondents interviewed 25 years ago as part of James S. Jackson’s original National Survey of American Life project.

In her “spare time”, Julie enjoys jogging, crafting, and traveling around the world with her family, but can most often be found driving her 4 sons to all of their school and community activities.
