My work is inspired by a desire to change the narrative about racially marginalized children’s development and learning so that society can see their diversity, tenacity, and talent. I was attracted to Urban because of the work it does that directly informs policymaking in relation to children and families, and I enjoy collaborating with colleagues on a multitude of projects related to early care and education and children’s health.

Body
Urban experts are permitted and empowered to work and affiliate with outside organizations, whether serving on boards, volunteering their time, or providing advice and counsel. And Urban welcomes visiting scholars, nonresident or affiliated fellows who work for other organizations. These outside affiliations enrich our perspectives and our learning environment. We also require all paid and unpaid experts to disclose their affiliations to Urban leadership and follow rules governing their engagement to ensure transparency for audiences and independence of experts.
