Senior Associate

At CSSP

I work with child welfare systems that have been prompted by litigation to improve policies, practices, and outcomes for children and families. As part of a team, I collect and analyze data, leverage technical assistance, produce reports and engage with leaders, staff, and community partners to create positive and lasting systems change.

I do this work because

Children and families have a right to access resources and supports they need to thrive.
