EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW

I bring a combined 19 years of academic, work* and military experience to this position. As a Research

Administrator at The Rehabilitation Research & Training Center (RRTC) at Virginia Commonwealth

University (VCU), I have served as research coordinator for the Homeless Veterans Reintegration

Program National Technical Assistance Center at VCU-RRTC, which included duties involving statistical

analysis, tool development, speaking engagements, evaluation and reporting, data deliverables, issue

escalation, milestone/benchmark reporting, and partner (customer) relationship management. Other

activities encompassed in this position included an on-site survey analysis of HVRP grantees to delineate

performance levels.

I was also the research coordinator for The Efficacy of Supported Employment for Homeless Individuals

with Mental Health and Substance Abuse Barriers and the VR&E Service Employment of Individuals

with Severe Injuries Study. Research activities included data gathering and analysis, tool development

and reporting, as well as contractual management. Previous to these duties, I worked on a grant funded

by the Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) involving teleworking and

persons with disabilities. Research activities included a survey of teleworkers with disabilities regarding

their satisfaction of earnings, benefits, supports, and career options. During my tenure at VCU-RRTC, I

obtained my PhD in Education (Urban Services Leadership), which is a degree program I designed

focusing on statistical research methods and writing for publication.

Before coming to VCU, I was employed at the University of Arizona as a Research Specialist. My

research focused on a smoking cessation grant through The Network for Information & Counseling Unit.

While at the University of Arizona, I obtained my Master’s Degree in Epidemiology and Statistics.

Beyond my professional and academic career, I served over 12 years in the U.S. Army. I spent eight

years as a Counterintelligence Agent serving the Pacific Rim including the Western United States, Korea

and Japan. The last four years of my service were spent as a Parachute Rigger at Fort Bragg, NC. I have

traveled around the world as a Soldier, trained in several different disciplines, and maintain camaraderie

and rapport with Veterans and people from all walks of life.

I am a proud Veteran and military spouse. My husband is Active Duty Army and we do relocate more

often than civilians. Due to my unique situation, I signed a telecommuting agreement with VCU-RRTC

many years ago. I have successfully maintained a professional home office while moving around the

Country, including Virginia, California, Hawaii and now North Carolina. We will be in Sanford, NC,

another two years and then again in Virginia. My experience, including previous relationships with the

military, Department of Veterans Affairs, extended knowledge of research and evaluation, statistical

research capabilities, end-to-end delivery of data management services, and successful management of

home-based employment qualifies me to excel in this position with your company.
