Broadly speaking, my directorial experiences encompass Behavioral Health, as well as Health Education & Communication based initiatives. Moreover, she spearheaded numerous programs involving many community partnerships (e.g.schools, churches, rec centers) in which I have trained staff, students, and residents on evidenced-based community program delivery. Generally speaking, projects have centered on social, economic and health disparities pervasive in adult and school-age African American; Latin X populations. Several specific project examples include, Do Right! Wellness series (community-based mental health program) and Do Right!

Rhyanne has extensive statistical data analytic experience and served as the Senior Data Analyst and program evaluator on a multitude of public health-based initiatives. I am highly skilled in mix- method research/analyses, data visualization, and inferential statistics (ANOVA, Multiple Regression, and Propensity Score Matching).

Broadly, her research analyses have examined relational factors between demographic variables (SES, race/ethnicity, etc.) and behavioral health outcomes (e.g. correlation between student demographics on various stress outcomes {e.g. anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, etc.}).
