• Social Policy Research Assistant

  • Aug 2021 - Present

  I research economic factors that can increase the economic mobility of Memphis and Shelby County residents. This research develops the "More for Memphis" social and economic mobility strategic plan- which will invest in education and youth development, health and well-being, economic development, justice and safety, community development, and historical preservation. Much of my work in economic development is focused on transit infrastructure, but I also research workforce development, wages and worker protections, entrepreneurship, tax environments, and business development. Much of my research is used to perform GAPS analyses, literature reviews, stakeholder analyses, recruitment and engagement plans, and building compendiums. This job requires excellent research and writing skills. Show less
