What I Do 

As a Graduate Student Researcher at the Office of Public Scholarship and Engagement, I primarily work on research-related tasks such as literature reviews and data analysis. I am currently working on two projects: a literature review on faculty motivations for pursuing public scholarship, and a landscape scan of university-wide public engagement initiatives.

More About Me

I am a PhD student in the Department of Sociology at UC Davis. In addition to my role at Public Scholarship and Engagement, I work as an Instructional Design Graduate Student Researcher for Academic Technology Services. Before coming to UC Davis, I worked in K-12 program evaluation at MDRC, a social policy research organization. My current research examines institutional intersections between nonprofit, government, and private sectors in the fields of health and education
