In 2018 I joined the National Institute for Children’s Healthy Quality (NICHQ) as Senior Director of Applied Research and Evaluation. My responsibilities include oversight of activities and staff in the Department of Applied Research and Analysis to ensure the successful design, execution and supervision of applied research projects, integrating evaluation into overall project management plan, and data collection, analysis and interpretation to assess project results and measure impact. My expertise includes applied research methodology, qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods, epidemiology and biostatistics. Prior to joining NICHQ, I served on the staff of the March of Dimes Foundation for 18 years in epidemiology and evaluation, and most recently as Senior Director of Applied Research and Evaluation and Interim SVP of Science and Strategy.
