About me
I am the Director of Research for Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS), a district located in metro Atlanta and one of the largest school systems in the United States. I have over a decade of experience as an educational researcher applying quantitative methods to large-scale research, accountability, and evaluation projects in the field of K-12 public education. A major, multi-year project my team is working on at the moment is the redesign of our district's school performance framework. But a primary research interest of mine is the development and application of early warning systems, essentially addressing the complex question: How do we best identify student risk accurately and early enough, with the least bias possible, and in a way that is most useful for stakeholders? My background is in school psychology and although my training was in the more traditional aspects of research and statistical methods for education, I am also very interested in data science and have developed skills over the years in statistical programming (R/RStudio) and project workflow.
