I am a Philly based researcher, writer, and consultant with a background in evaluation, participatory research methods, and antiracist pedagogies.
I bring a unique combination of teaching, research, and writing skills developed over 15 years working in a variety of cultural organizations to understand and respond to audience needs. I'm especially interested in liberatory research methods that emphasize doing research *with*, rather than on.
