As a mixed methods research methodologist, I work on research teams interested in applying mixed methods approaches. I then lead the design, implementation, and evaluation of a range of methods including ethnographic field data collection, visual and arts-based methods, in-depth qualitative interviewing, and questionnaire and scale development. When deciding whether to join a project, a primary component of my decision is the extent to which the project aligns with my own application of Critical Race, feminist, and queer frameworks.
