Brandi Campbell Villa would say that she has been a researcher since childhood, gradually honing her skills through formal and informal education. By the time she finished her undergraduate studies, she had also become an educator. Brandi did her graduate research on two fronts – in the field of applied and environmental microbiology as well as in program evaluation. With more than a decade of teaching experience, Brandi brings an educator and researcher’s perspective to the design and implementation of our projects. Her evaluation and non-profit work has taken her around the globe to contribute to national and international projects, including bilingual programs in English and Spanish. She excels at working with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and even different languages. She has taught scientific writing for years, and has collaborated with many of our clients to write and edit successful grant proposals, conference presentations, and journal publications. In addition to her passion for all aspects of STEM education and health, Brandi particularly enjoys challenges related to evaluation design, scientific communication for the lay audience, reporting and data visualization, and meeting facilitation.
