Experience
Senior Program Director
May 2022 — Present · Newark, NJ, US
The Joseph C. Cornwall Center for Metropolitan Studies is a signature component of Rutgers University Newark’s commitment to be an anchor institution for the metropolitan area. Cornwall’s specific role is bringing the campus’s intellectual talent and other resources to bear on the challenges of revitalizing Newark and similar communities in the region and state. To this end, the Center sponsors research projects, publications, conferences, symposia, seminars, workshops, public forums, and incubates projects translating research into effective practice. In all its work, Cornwall is especially concerned with supporting the most vulnerable urban populations.I am a proud member of the passionate and hard working team at the Cornwall Center. My projects and responsibilities include: The Freedom School Project, Targeted Neighborhoods Initiative (serving Newark\'s Fairmount & Upper Clinton Hill neighborhoods), qualitative research and analysis, and external communications (copy writing, grant writing, report writing, presentations, social media, website).
