Meet Our Newest Researchers

The Empirical Research Team is pleased to announce the addition of 3 new team members. We welcome Rebecca Dowling, Lindsay Maurer, and Mayah Waltower as our newest researchers!

Rebecca Dowling, Research Manager

Rebecca (box 8 in the pet matching game) is taking on the role of project manager for two evaluations. One is the EVERFI WORD Force project, working with Mayah Waltower. The other is the How Are The Children project. Rebecca’s PhD in Applied Developmental Psychology with a specialization in educational contexts of development lends expertise to both of these projects. Her education is complemented by her experience managing evaluations before joining Empirical Education. Rebecca works out of her home office in Utah. Can you guess which pet works at home with her?

Lindsay Maurer, Research Assistant

Lindsay (box 6 in the pet matching game) assists Sze-Shun Lau with the CREATE project, a teacher residency program in Atlanta Public Schools invested in expanding equity in education by developing critically conscious, compassionate, and skilled educators. Lindsay’s experience as a research assistant studying educational excellence and equality at the University of California Davis is an asset to the CREATE project. Lindsay works out of her home office in San Francisco, CA. Can you guess which pet works at home with her?

Mayah Waltower, Research Assistant

Mayah (box 1 in the pet matching game) has taken on assisting Rebecca with the EVERFI WORD Force and the How Are The Children projects. Mayah also assists Sze-Shun Lau with the CREATE project, a teacher residency program in Atlanta Public Schools invested in expanding equity in education by developing critically conscious, compassionate, and skilled educators. Mayah works out of her home office in Atlanta, GA. Can you guess which pet works at home with her?

To get to know them better, we’d like to invite you to play our pet matching game. The goal of the game is to correctly match each new team member with their pet (yes, plants can be pets too). To submit your answers and see if you’re right, post your guesses to twitter and tag us @empiricaled.
