Emilie has worked with the Catherine Cutler Institute since 2016 and has a background in school-based and community health and social work. Emilie works on the development and implementation of program evaluations, provides trainings on meaningful use and presentation of data, and offers data and continuous improvement technical support to organizations and programs. She is particularly interested in how people can use data to inform their work, hold themselves accountable, generate conversations, spur new ideas, bring people together, and drive meaningful change.
Emilie is a hopeless “input” so check your email, she’s probably sent you a link to another potentially interesting report. When she isn’t “in the office,” you can find her riding her bike around Portland, attempting to identify wildflowers from April-October, and praying for snow from December-February.
