I’m Alyssa Trenton, a Consumer Feedback Analyst, Market Research Writer, and the lead content creator at McdTalks.com. I specialize in simplifying customer survey systems, reward programs, and digital feedback platforms, making it easier for McDonald’s customers to understand how to complete the McDVoice survey, redeem rewards, and share their dining experience effectively.
With 7 years of experience studying how U.S. restaurant chains collect and use customer insights, I focus on transforming complex survey instructions into clear, step-by-step guides that help customers participate confidently and avoid common submission errors.
Academic Background & Professional Qualifications
I graduated with distinction from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2015, earning a Bachelor of Science in Marketing with a focus on Customer Experience Management and Digital Consumer Behavior. During my final year, I completed a capstone project analyzing customer satisfaction methods across major fast-food chains, including McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King, which sparked my interest in how large restaurant brands evaluate and act on consumer feedback.
In 2018, I completed my Master’s degree in Data-Driven Consumer Insights at Northwestern University. My graduate thesis explored survey accuracy, reward redemption behavior, and UX flow within digital restaurant surveys, providing a deep understanding of how platforms like McDonald’s McDVoice collect, process, and optimize customer responses. Throughout my studies, I gained hands-on experience working with survey databases, user interaction patterns, and statistical feedback models.
Along with my academic background, I hold several industry-recognized certifications, including Certified Market Research Analyst (CMRA), Customer Experience (CX) Design Certification from the U.S. Research Council, and Digital Survey Systems Optimization from Analytics Academy. These qualifications strengthened my expertise in customer behavior analysis, data-driven decision making, and digital survey system optimization. To stay current with evolving feedback technologies, I participate regularly in workshops on survey analytics, UX improvements, and consumer engagement strategies.
