Community Engagement
From 2020 through 2022, I served as a program evaluation analyst for the non-profit organization, Social Creatures. The mission of Social Creatures is to promote social connection for all people, through advocacy, education, and evidence-based programming. In my role, I helped develop a theory of change for the Generational Youth Mentors program, which is a peer-to-peer virtual mentorship program designed to promote social connection and academic engagement for kids. I worked with the rest of the evaluation team to choose measures and conduct analyses to test our theory of change. I have also contributed to the educational arm of Social Creatures, The Creature Times, where I have written about the science of social connection for the general public. You can read some of my pieces here and here.
