Perform quantitative and qualitative analysis as part fo various evalutation projects, including: -Neural Engineering Training Program (NETP) evaluation: The NETP supports fellows as well as the UM community in engaging in translational neural engineering. I've created surveys to assess participants experiences in various program activities, including the annual research symposium. I conduct descriptive statistics and craft reports for program PIs highlighting strengths and feedback. I've also crafted, conducted, and analyzed interviews with exiting NETP fellows and created report for PIs. (Jan 2023-present)-The School at Marygrove (TSM): conduct external evaluation for Marsal School of Education NSF STEM project which aims to recruit and retain more diverse teachers into STEM teaching roles at urban secondary schools. The work has included collaborating with various folks across UM to gather and compile data about prospective teachers' matriculation and to track TSM alumni. In addition to descriptive statistics exploring trends in matriculation, I've done qualitative analysis of various populations of prospective and current teachers at TSM to enrich quantitative findings. The final products of this work have been a tracking spreadsheet of all the current and former Marsal SOE students that have been at TSM and a Year 5 report summarizing findings across the various datasets. (Dec 2023-present)-FATE: The FATE program is a four-year cohort based program working with Detroit’s Jalen Rose Leadership Academy students through various activities, including an entrepreneurship competition, to support their educational and long-term career goals. For this project, I did qualitative analysis of the parents', students' and mentors' experiences with the program and created memos to support CEDER staff in crafting the final evaluation report.
