(she/her/hers - or - they/them/theirs)

Throughout my 30 year career, I have facilitated participatory research and evaluation projects in partnership with education, philanthropic, non-profit, governmental, and community-based organizations working to understand and create innovative and effective, typically community-driven, solutions to systemic inequities and complex social problems such as community health and health equity, racial equity and community reconciliation, gender justice, education and equitable opportunity. My primary research interests are environmental-, health-, food-, and land-justice.

At SERC I provide evaluation and learning support for partners, typically in higher education and their collaborators in the public sector (among others), who are working on vital initiatives designed to improve public understanding of, and engagement in, critical environmental concerns and to facilitate community engagement in the design, adoption, and assessment of innovative and equitable solutions.
