Why I am working with the Research Shop: The Research Shop's commitment to collaborative and transformative projects is what drew me to this position. I believe research that is driven by community partners and informed by lived experience is necessary to create meaningful change. As a Research Shop Assistant, I am able to contribute to work that addresses complex issues in our community, while developing valuable critical thinking and technical skills.
