She works to examine, understand, and predict the ways that human capabilities and limitations interact with vehicles and the environment. Her goal is to keep people safe and improve their daily lives. She has led and published dozens of studies for agencies that include FHWA, GHSA, NHTSA, and State Departments of Transportation, and her work supports all road users. Ms. Raymond leads philosophically and pragmatically across the research process. She develops methodologies, leads the operationalization, implements studies, directs analysis, interprets results, develops reports, and presents findings to diverse audiences. She carries the application of human factors principles nationwide as lead instructor for NHI\u2019s Introduction to Human Factors for Roadway Design and Operations. Ms. Raymond leads programmatically as well. She generates program goals and problem statements, facilitates expert panels and workshops, and helps agencies and stakeholders identify priorities and solutions. Most of all, she builds and leads ToXcel\u2019s multidisciplinary teams to bring our diversity of expertise to our clients\u2019 needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|auto|-40px|auto|false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.14)&#8221; min_height=&#8221;370px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||34px|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|15px|0px|30px|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/paula-raymond-631173128\">LinkedIn Profile<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Subject Matter Areas:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Behavioral Safety<\/li>\n<li>Human Factors<\/li>\n<li>Meeting Facilitation<\/li>\n<li>Certified National Highway Institute Trainer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Q&amp;A<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1em&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px||10px|15px|false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"Qr7Oae\" role=\"listitem\">\n<div class=\"OxAavc NVbRL\" jsname=\"ibnC6b\" jscontroller=\"rDGJeb\" jsaction=\"sPvj8e:e4JwSe,Dlbleb;O22p3e:e4JwSe,F0zejc;\" data-item-id=\"1857073640\">\n<div class=\"Ih4Dzb\">\n<div class=\"q4tvle JqSWld yqQS1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h5><span>What&#8217;s a fact about you many people don&#8217;t know?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Our music room is a little crowded.
