I provide data analytic and project management support to the School of Medicine's Associate Dean for Curriculum and Evaluation. I collect, clean, and analyze educational outcome data required for accreditation and quality improvement efforts. Following analysis, I summarize the findings in written reports and slide decks and present these to curriculum leaders. Related responsibilities include survey design, data management, and troubleshooting of reporting tools. Additionally, I am responsible for our annual curriculum mapping process. In this capacity, I collaborate with course directors to prepare more than 30 reports outlining learning objectives, educational content, and assessment methods. Finally, I work with a cross-functional team to coordinate standardized patient exams and ensure exam materials align with standards provided by the National Board of Medical Examiners.

In this role, I monitored the academic progress of approximately 400 undergraduate and graduate students representing more than 30 degree programs. I advised a diverse group of non-traditional students about program requirements and policies, reviewed their enrollment activity to ensure chosen courses fulfilled degree requirements, and communicated curriculum and policy changes in a clear and timely manner. Additionally, I composed and edited copy for outreach campaigns, facilitated the onboarding process for newly admitted students, and served as the liaison between students and campus entities (e.g., registrar, financial aid).
