What I bring
Analytical discipline, with people in view.
The strongest policy work holds evidence and lived context together. My experience spans research synthesis, field data, public-facing programs, and communication across institutions.
Field & program evidence
My experience includes structured household interviewing, socioeconomic data verification, visitor feedback, and participation tracking. This is work where accuracy and context matter.
Stakeholder clarity
I communicate requirements, findings, deadlines, and next steps across students, institutions, community participants, and public-service settings.
Selected research
Original analysis, made clear without making it small.
The research library opens up the question, method, argument, and findings behind Silvia’s academic work while keeping the complete reports private.

Let’s work on the question that matters
Thoughtful research.
Clear communication.
Useful next steps.
