Areas of Interest: My passion is program evaluation for positive youth development programs at the grassroots, city, state, and national level. I typically review multi-year prevention and intervention activities in communities with the greatest need for positive youth development. I am trained as a quantitative methodologist, so I work as a statistical analyst with data from these programs. I also teach statistics at the graduate level. Recently, I have pivoted from a psychological to a public health lens for my work as I take a position at Children's Hospital Los Angeles under mentorship from faculty at the University of Southern California - Keck School of Medicine and Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
