Describe your community-engaged scholarship. 

Grounded in culturally responsive, community-engaged, and decolonizing methodologies, my work examines how research and evaluation can broadly advance social change and promote health, well-being, and safety in communities. Over the last decade I have implemented and evaluated education, health, leadership development and social justice programs serving a variety of communities in academic, government and nonprofit settings.
