Faith comes from a background of evaluation and promoting positive youth development in education, out-of-school time programs, and other community organizations through the lens of research and policy. Faith joined Wilder in 2023.
She has extensive experience in facilitating focus groups, interviews, and various qualitative and quantitative research. Her most dedicated passion is with youth and mentorship, believing that for all young children and adults to thrive they need consistent connection between themselves and the adults in their lives. Prior to coming to Wilder Research, Faith was a research assistant at Search Institute.
Faith holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology/anthropology with a concentration in statistics and data sciences from St. Olaf College.
Hailing from St. Paul, she loves to take walks around Lake Phalen and explore the scenery. Faith loves to watch Netflix, play volleyball, hang out with family, and, especially, eat good food. She also has been a mentor for the past three years for St. Olaf’s Upward Bound program, giving back to her community for the support she has received. You can probably catch her gushing about her two cats, Mew and Chimmy, at any given time (and showing pictures).
