Featured Work
As Research Project Manager at Philabundance, a nonprofit food bank in Philadelphia, I led the mixed-methods evaluation of the Lunchbox Program. An initiative designed to provide nutritious meals to youth during the summer months, when access to school-based meals is limited. By centering the voices of parents and caregivers through interviews and surveys, the evaluation surfaced insights that informed program improvements and ensured the service met the real needs of the community. The project exemplified how data can be used to strengthen community trust, enhance service delivery, and demonstrate meaningful impact.
