At BUILD I…

work with Minnesota’s Whole Family Systems team to further the research and evaluation efforts. I analyze qualitative and quantitative data of the programs and prototypes to foster an effective decision-making process.

An aspect of my work that excites me…

learning about and being a part of all the innovative ways in which non-profits and governments build pragmatic systems to support the well-being of people and communities. It gives me a reason to be optimistic about the future and spread the same thought-process to others around me.

When the day is done…

I love dining out at restaurants serving cuisines I haven’t yet tried. I experiment with food quite a bit…at home and outside. I recently tried Ethiopian food with my husband and we were fascinated with how similar it was to Indian food.
