Coordinator Of School-University Research Relations
My goal is to build collaborative relationships where University researchers can work with educators working to enhance both the research in the field and practice in a mutually beneficial connection between academia and practitioners. I provide assistance in finding and building those relationships for both faculty and student researchers in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My work also supports researchers seeking funding by building needed collaborations and assists schools connecting with researchers who wish to work in areas of need for the school. The Center for Education in Small Urban Communities is building its capacity to extend beyond the local community to other schools while maintaining an important and fruitful relationship working with local districts for the benefit of the schools and researchers.
