I am a former teacher,  researcher, and education policy expert who studies how instructional reforms become classroom practice and improve children's learning. My work combines rigorous causal evaluation, implementation science, and technical advisory to help governments and education organizations design, evaluate, and scale effective literacy and teacher development programs. I mentor early-career scholars and partner with ministries of education, NGOs, and international organizations, driven by a strong belief that education can widen what is possible, especially for children whose futures depend most on whether systems deliver.
