I currently conduct research and lead evaluation efforts for Rutgers AG VOCA campus sexual assault prevention and response which focuses on victim experiences, and have previous experience in research working with survivors/victims within the welfare system and who are victims of violence, and the government entities and domestic violence agencies with which they work. I also have experience with victims of trafficking within a research capacity, and refugees/immigrants who are victims of violence. I work closely with campus communities, domestic violence agencies, and refugee organizations. I also have international experience working with adolescent girls, social service agencies, government agencies, and community organizations in a research and practice capacity, particularly in Sub Saharan Africa and the Middle East. I have qualitative and quantitative skills-data collection, an and analyis, and experience in SPSS, Stata, AMOS, and Nvivo in terms of data analysis software.
