As a licensed social worker and research consultant at the Ohio Colleges of Medicine Government Resource Center, I bring a unique blend of frontline experience and applied research expertise to the table. My career has spanned child welfare, behavioral health, and research project management, giving me a deep understanding of how families interact with social service systems and what it takes to support the workforce behind them. I specialize in mixed methods and applied research, with a focus on workforce development and improving the lived experiences of families navigating complex systems. My work is grounded in the belief that research should be accessible, actionable, and rooted in the realities of those it aims to serve. I’m passionate about elevating the visibility and impact of social work scholars in health science research. Whether I’m collaborating with interdisciplinary teams or engaging with service providers and community members, I strive to bridge the gap between research and practice in meaningful ways. Let’s connect if you’re interested in advancing research that makes a real-world difference, or if you simply want to talk about how we can better support the people who support others.
