I have experience using both quantitative and qualitative methods to evaluate educational programs for research, funders, and general program improvements.

NatureBridge Research Project
Stanford University

The evaluation research with NatureBridge was headed by Dr. Nicole Ardoin from Stanford University. We developed metrics for measuring interest using student-generated digital photography during the outdoor education experience. The resulting research publication is accessible via Research Gate.
