I earned my Ph.D. in Educational Research, Statistics, and Evaluation from the University of Virginia, where I was trained in program evaluation and research methods in education and the social sciences. I have a diverse portfolio of training and experience with program evaluation and research in education and healthcare, most recently as an evaluator for the Provost’s Office at the University of Texas at El Paso and the Director of Evaluation for a 70 million-dollar National Institutes of Health funded center based at the University of Washington. I have experience assessing outcomes for K-12 and higher education populations, including both two and four- year schools all over the country, and I also have experience with evaluating health focused initiatives and workforce development programs as well. This evaluation work includes survey design and analysis, quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis, and technical writing to provide project leaders with reports that convey impact.
