Professional Experience: |
|
I manage and implement evaluation projects including conducting interviews, designing questionnaires, developing logical frameworks, and managing databases. I have worked in a municipal planning agency, as a consultant, and with a government contractor. I recently implemented an evaluation of three energy projects in Tanzania as part of a global research effort on USAID off grid projects.

Education: |
My Masters coursework was focused on the international context, social science research, economic development, and urban planning.
I gained international research experience in Rio de Janeiro, where I mapped a part of a favela to initiate the regularization process for a community of 350 residents. My thesis documented the project implementation and proposed a framework for future work in the favela.
