SKILLS

Tricks of the Trade

RESEARCH

Qualitative

Research is an opportunity to find insights, ask good questions, and amplify the experiences and voices of BIPOC people and communities.  Since beginning my doctoral degree, I have conducted and led a number of research projects ranging from interviews and public data analysis to surveys and systematic literature reviews.  My favorite method is speculative co-design workshops!  Learn more about a selection of my research here on my research portfolio.  

COMMUNICATION
