I am an experienced researcher and evaluator who uses my expertise in study design, data collection, and analysis to work toward a more equitable and effective education system. I take a collaborative approach to research, acting as a thought partner with organizations and their stakeholders to define a research and evaluation agenda that meets their learning needs and is driven by their priorities. I am committed to incorporating culturally responsive evaluation practices that recognize community voice and input as essential to high quality research, and that ensure decisions about research priorities are intentional and transparent.
