  • Investigating equity and comprehensiveness of state prevention plans under the Family First Prevention Services Act using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to extract and analyze policy content across states.
  • Conducted advanced statistical analyses of child maltreatment data using latent profile and latent class analysis (LPA/LCA) with multiple reporters; comparing findings across structural equation modeling (SEM), regression, and network analysis approaches.
  • Designed and administered a survey examining parents' definitions of parenting and overall success, as well as parenting sense of competence; conducting psychometric analyses including exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to assess construct validity.
  • Conducted a narrative review of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) metrics in higher education, synthesizing findings from university-generated documents and peer-reviewed literature to identify measurement strengths and gaps.

Graduate Student Researcher & Instructor

University of California, Berkeley
01.2020 - 05.2024
  • Managed and mentored 17 undergraduate students across multiple research teams. Supervised 5 undergraduates in analyzing user behavior and journeys using Google Analytics, BigQuery, and SQL server logs to measure educators' use of research evidence of an intermediary website.
  • Conducted 2 scoping literature reviews to understand the uses of a social-emotional learning tool since inception and to evaluate the extent to which studies supported in a registry of experimentally proven programs are inclusive. Work resulted in book chapters, conference presentations, and a peer-reviewed publication.
  • Taught 45+ undergraduate students: earned near-perfect evaluation scores (6.87/7) in 1) effectiveness as an instructor, 2) presenting content in an organized manner, 3) explaining concepts clearly, and 4) providing individual support.

Teaching Assistant

University of Pennsylvania
04.2018 - 04.2019
  • Prepared course content (i.e., syllabus, assessments, rubrics, infographics) and used StudioX to launch the course on EdX Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) provider.
  • Applied best practices for EdX course usability and edited content and flow based on analytic data.

Research Assistant

University of Pennsylvania
05.2018 - 08.2018
  • Qualitatively coded child welfare agency directors' interviews using ATLAS.ti to improve the implementation of evidence-based parenting programs (EBP). Findings informed child welfare agency EBP implementation processes and client engagement strategies.
  • Conducted a systematic literature review to inform Independent Living Services, policies, and programs for at-risk youth. Work resulted in a peer-reviewed publication.

Research Assistant

Sidra Medical and Research Center
11.2016 - 07.2017
  • Facilitated 4 focus groups and 61 semi-structured interviews to develop culturally sensitive parenting materials.
  • Transcribed, translated, and qualitatively analyzed transcripts using NVivo. Findings informed the cultural adaptation of an evidence-based parenting program for the Qatari context.

Clinical Research Coordinator

Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar
11.2012 - 06.2016
  • Facilitated and qualitatively analyzed 4 focus groups and 25 interviews to improve the validity of and adapt an international survey for the local context.
  • Trained 50+ enumerators and supervisors at the Ministry of Development Planning & Statistics (MDPS) on survey administration.
  • Recruited and conducted survey interviews (~30 minutes per interview) alongside 50 MDPS enumerators for a national cross-sectional random household survey (N=2000). Findings resulted in 4 peer-reviewed publications and informed calls for laws, policies, and programs for the prevention of child maltreatment.
