[I’ve known Emily for 13 years]—first as her dissertation chair (we later co-authored from that work). [As an Adjunct Professor at The George Washington University, Emily and I co-instruct the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) Applied Mixed Methods course]. For the past five years, [Emily has designed and directed the course], coordinating four instructors and a teaching assistant. [She brings strong mixed-methods and implementation-science skills, pairs rigor with practicality, and is an engaged mentor who shows up for students]. As a colleague she’s enthusiastic, collaborative, and reliable. [I recommend Emily and Practical Associates for methods capacity-building, implementation-focused study design and analysis, and evidence-translation support].
