I am a Research Scholar in the Program Evaluation and Education Research (PEER) Group within the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at NC State University. The PEER Group provides evaluation, research, and technical assistance for education partners, with a focus on educational innovation, equity, and capacity building. I have 25 years of experience in education in North Carolina at the elementary, middle, and undergraduate levels. My experience teaching in high-needs schools for many of those years provides a pragmatic yet urgent view of the ways evaluation and research benefit students and teachers. My primary expertise is in innovative use and acceptance of technology in education, specializing in qualitative and mixed methods research in learning design and technology. I conduct evaluations and educational research for local and state projects, from a variety of funding sources. The work I do helps build educators’ capacity to provide research-based, engaging instruction.
