Maggie works collaboratively across the organization and with local and national researchers and practitioners and employers to develop and use rigorous and robust tools to analyze employee, resident, and employer data, and leverage best and promising practices in anti-racism, change management, and systems change to inform the policies, practices, and actions that business leaders, public sector employers, and policy makers take to close racial employment, income, and wealth gaps, and improve their bottom-line results.
Prior to the Center, Maggie was a research associate at Harvard Business School and part of a team analyzing immigrant entrepreneurship. At Wellesley Centers for Women, she supported all aspects of research, including data cleaning and analysis, survey design, literature reviews, policy analysis, designing data visualizations, and writing and editing of academic publications.
