I am a social scientist and statistician with over a decade of experience conducting quantitative and qualitative research methods, evaluating policy, and translating research findings into actionable insights. I bring technical and project management skills to the table and the ability to execute complex projects both independently and with a team. My research and work portfolio includes several awards and grants, publications in high-impact peer-reviewed journals, and invitations to present at national conferences. I have topical expertise in criminal justice policy, violence prevention and intervention, affordable housing, racial inequality, and emerging community safety policies like alternative crisis response.

Currently, I a graduate research analyst at the Northwestern Center for Neighborhood Engaged Research and Science (CORNERS), where I help facilitate participatory evaluations of community safety programs in Chicago through collaborative community partnerships. Trained in mixed methods, I view combining qualitative and quantitative modes of data collection, analysis, or inference as a distinct skill set with its own markers of rigor. I also have experience teaching research methodology, including introductory statistics and regression.
