Derek Miller is a research manager at LendingTree, where he conducts data-driven studies and surveys on personal finance topics including debt and small business.
His work turns large datasets and consumer trends into reader-friendly research that helps people understand how borrowing, credit behavior and business conditions affect everyday financial decisions. His research in personal finance seeks to make complex financial topics simpler, creating timely and useful takeaways for readers.
Along with the heavier debt and credit behavior analysis, Derek also covers lighter topics, including Americans' Super Bowl betting plans and how much people plan to spend on Mother’s Day.
Derek has been researching and writing about personal finance since 2016.
