  • Draft, review, and edit reports and presentations of research/evaluation findings and recommendations for a wide variety of stakeholders and audiences.
  • Cultivate and maintain complex and collaborative relationships with service providers and communities experiencing marginalization and barriers to opportunity.
  • Apply and share knowledge of trauma-informed practices to actively resist the traumatization/retraumatization of individuals and communities.
  • Design and implement innovative, mixed-methods data collection approaches including surveys, interviews, focus groups, observational studies, case studies, storytelling, and other tools to support community engagement, performance management, and research/evaluation goals.
  • Analyze both quantitative and qualitative data to generate comprehensive insights and actionable recommendations.
