I have joined the Institute to assist with program evaluation including data
management, quantitative analysis, and quality improvement for several IFS
programs and partnerships under Dr. Cheri Shapiro. I spent several years as a
post-bachelor research specialist and as a graduate student under Mark Weist
with the School Behavioral Health Team. During this time, I gained more
experience with program evaluation and mixed methods approaches to research and
evaluation.
I am passionate about translational research and distilling complex evaluation results into actionable steps for improving the quality of programs for the families and communities. I am also an adjunct instructor through the UofSC Psychology department, and I am pursuing licensure as a professional counselor.
