Research Practice Partnerships, Equity

I am an award-winning research methodologist and innovative leader with demonstrated expertise building and leading effective, equity-centered research teams and partnerships. For over a decade, I have used mixed research methods (qualitative and quantitative) as tools to study, partner with, and advocate for historically underrepresented and underserved populations in university, community-based, and state government environments. I currently serve as the Director of the Program Evaluation and Education Research Group at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation. In this role, I lead all aspects of a 20+ member, soft-money funded team including nine full-time researchers, graduate research assistants, undergraduate interns, and consultants. I hold a Ph.D. in Educational Research and Policy Analysis with a specialization in Higher Education Administration from North Carolina State University, and a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) in Health Behavior from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
