Skills & Values
Participatory Research
The everyday experiences of community members ought to inform the decisions made about the programs and initiatives that impact them. I believe in collecting their stories to tell a more meaningful analytic tale with data.
Project Management
Time sheets to log hours. Schedules to enforce routines. Spreadsheets to track progress. Trello boards to prioritize tasks. GitHub for version control of drafts. I have been a self-starter, managing my time across multiple projects with little direction. The right tools and consistency help me stay organized.
Communication
Whether it is an executive summary or a blog post, transparency, brevity, and attention to detail are essential in translating research findings into actionable results.
Making a Difference through Research
