Page Title
My graduate public health capstone is a mixed methods, qualitative study about Oakland's homeless encampment management policy. I've conducted interviews with unhoused participants and homelessness stakeholders to understand their perceptions. This work builds off previous work I've done as an associate producer on a documentary made about homelessness in Oakland. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved this project. I plan to submit my findings to a peer-reviewed journal upon completion, such as the Journal of Urban Affairs or American Journal of Public Health.
A two-pronged approach
This research tells a story of how an Oakland homeless encampment clearance policy impacted unhoused encampment residents. This capstone project is a two-pronged approach combining qualitative, interview-based research with documentary filmmaking.
Data management in journalism and public health
I've used software including Adobe Premiere Pro and MaxQDA, a qualitative analysis tool, for journalism and public health storytelling. I've become proficient in editing video/audio while also understanding how to codify qualitative themes for mixed methods research.
