Literature Reviews
In the fall of 2023, I conducted a 1.5-hour graduate level workshop on strategies for conducting a thorough and up-to-date literature review. The workshop focused on search engines, strategies for keywords and search terms, and organizing information/files, and included both examples and hands on activities.
National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) and National Study of Caregiving (NSOC)
Beginning in the summer of 2022, alongside Mengyao Hu, Vicki Freedman, and Maureen Skehan, I helped create and co-design the annual NHATS/NSOC summer workshops. Each summer there are two interactive, online workshops, one for NHATS and one for NSOC, where data users learn more about NHATS/NSOC and receive personalized help to construct their study. These workshops build off of the free publicly available NHATS online course for beginners (for more information, see the NHATS Getting Started page).
Intro to Statistical Concepts
In the fall of 2019, I conducted multiple one night undergraduate level workshops through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) at the University of Michigan. These workshops focused on highlighting the most common statistical concepts used in a variety of research fields.
Data Cafes
During my time as the KIDS COUNT project manager the Indiana Youth Institute (2008 - 2013), I participated in presenting at statewide "Data Cafes." These cafes were geared toward youth workers and the general public. Participants could come learn about data available on child and family well-being in their local area.
