Program Evaluation
I conducted program evaluations for several agencies and organizations. Through these projects, I worked with different human performance improvement models, learned about consultant and client relationships, program management, work breakdown schedule, and designing performance solutions. I collected qualitative and quantitative data, analyzed, and developed recommendations for these programs.
Performance Improvement
Conducting a needs analysis and creating surveys is one of my strengths. I have designed several surveys and conducted a needs assessment for several organizations, including the School of Public Health and the Indiana School of Social Work at Indiana University Bloomington.
- "No Health without Mental Health" Program Survey Design for the School of Public at Indiana University and Southern Indiana Community Health Care Organizations
- Performance Improvement in the Q199 Introduction to Global Village course at the Global Village Living-Learning Center
- Needs assessment for the new MSW program initiation for Indiana School of Social Work
- Program Evaluation Plan for the Center for Language Technology and Instructional Enrichment (CeLTIE)
"No Health without Mental Health" Program Survey Design
During my work at the e-Learning Design Services, I designed a survey for the "No Health without Mental Health" program in the School of Public Health at Indiana University Bloomington and Southern Indiana Community Health Care community agencies. The goal of the survey was exploring the need for a new portal/network for community resources in Bloomington. The survey was vital to the development of new resources and was an important consideration in deciding whether to create such a new portal. We distilled the target audience from six different groups into two core types, service providers and service users, and revised research questions.
My role in the program: Four different surveys were created for the following audiences.

- Consumers with mental illness: Youth
- Families: Caregivers of mentally ill youth
Program Evaluation Plan for CeLTIE
Program Evaluation Plan for the Center for Language Technology and Instructional Enrichment (CeLTIE) provides an evaluation plan to review both the theory behind the CeLTIE mission and goals, as well as the effectiveness of CeLTIE staff, resources, tools and processes in achieving these goals.
My role in this project: This project was developed for the R561 course and I was part of the evaluation team.
Focus of the project: Performance improvement, evaluation theory and models, and surveys.

Needs Assessment
The new MSW program initiation
The goal of the Needs Analysis of the new Master's in Social Work (MSW) program initiation project was to assist the Indiana School of Social Work (IUSSW) at Bloomington evaluate the need and interest for a graduate program in Social Work. This needs assessment was conducted during the Fall 2014 and used a mixed methods design to achieve a convergence analysis with multiple sources of information. A new MSW program initiation (starting 2016) at IU Bloomington was an outcome of this project.
My role in the program: I designed surveys for students, alumni, field agencies and faculty in order to assess interest, concerns, specific recommendations regarding offering the MSW degree at IUB.
Focus of the project: Needs assessment, evaluation theory and models, migration strategy, focus group meeting, and surveys.

Evaluation of Strategic Plans for Online Education
Snapshots of Strategic Plans: A Review and Reflection on Approaches taken for Online Education examines strategic plans for four universities: Purdue University; Arizona State University; Indiana University; and the University of Hawaii's Community Colleges, in the scope of not only their systematic approach but specifically how they addressed online education.
My role in this project: This project is the midterm paper for the R685 course and I was part of the team.
Focus of the project: Evaluation, surveys, e-learning, assessment, Open Educational Resources (OER), program management, and data collection.

Program Evaluation for the Global Village Living Learning Center
Performance Improvement in the Q199 Introduction to Global Village course was designed to identify performance gaps, analyze its causes, and improve learner performance in the Q199 course. The Global Village is a living-learning residential center at Indiana University and all new residents of the Global Village are required to take the Q199 one credit hour course. This course is taught by peer instructors who are sophomore, junior, or senior students.
My role in this project: I was hired (pro-bono basis) to be the consultant to a team of instructors and a new assistant director of the Global Village.
Focus of the project: Performance improvement, evaluation, consulting, survey design, problem identification and solution, project management, and syllabus design.
