She is working with the team to design the data collection protocols, respondent outreach strategies, and IT systems for the upcoming data collection in 2024.

This project has collected data from advisees across seven separate rounds, implementing an efficient data collection protocol that involves email, SMS, and telephone outreach to achieve consistently high response rates.
