About Abel J. Koury
I love using data to tell stories. Data can be used to advance equity, push policy changes, and inform interventions. When we conduct research using best practice in design and methodology, we can have confidence in the data we collect. We can turn these numbers into a compelling narrative that explains patterns, uncovers heterogeneity, and encourages rich conversation. My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following things about myself-You can trust me to put together a team, understand each person\'s strengths and opportunities for growth, and create ways to allow each member of the team to contribute meaningfully to the projects-You can trust me to utilize an equity lens in my work, thinking deliberately about issues of data and research justice-You can trust me to be a team player, take accountability for mistakes, and elevate members of my team to the spotlight. I enjoy learning and meeting new people. Reach out if you want to chat about research, data, or why coffee is so delicious.
