A New Position

The company I am with now has a research initiative to better understand when change happens and what the outcomes are for individuals in the program. With my background in research and program evaluation, I expressed interest in learning more about it. It turns out that my timing was great. They are scaling up the project and asked me to join the team. For now, the tentative plan is for me to be part time in the field and part time on research.

I love interacting with people on a micro level and working through intense emotional issues. This is why I studied social work and enjoy working directly with clients. However, my brain likes to think on a macro level, to try and figure out what is going on and why, and how to make changes. This is why I studied public health, did my undergraduate internship at a research department, and worked at a research organization for almost two years. While it’s not completely clear how it will all work out, I am psyched to incorporate another passion here.
