“Beyond her extensive expertise in qualitative research methods and content knowledge in sexual and reproductive health, Andrea’s passion for social justice and elevating the voices of marginalized populations aligned very well with my views as an intersectional feminist researcher. Andrea is extremely responsive both in terms of communication and meeting deadlines. Andrea is flexible, passionate, and collaborative. Having worked with a lot of consultants throughout my career, I can say that it’s difficult to find someone like Andrea who brings the whole package in terms of skills, knowledge, and professionalism. “

She was especially effective in developing ways to support different skill levels among team members. She excelled in effective and positive communication and brought an infectious energy to the project which made her a joy to work with.

“I worked with Andrea on interviews and focus groups with African American community members in Washington, D.C. for a qualitative research study on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. At every point in the project, she made sure we had the support we needed, and was responsive when we had questions. She is very organized and kept up the excitement as we made our way through each phase of the study.”

“We were so fortunate to find Kephi and have Andrea serve as the external evaluator on a recent project evaluating Michigan’s opioid overdose surveillance system. She has the expertise in conducting evaluations that we were seeking and a solid background working with people who use drugs which meant she brought a nuanced understanding of the population we work with. This translated to a thorough and thoughtful evaluation that amplified the voices of the community. Andrea is very organized and efficient which made the project feel seamless. We had an excellent experience bringing on Kephi for this work.”
