development amongst Australian School children. Her work on the Northern Territory
Evaluation of Literacy Approaches project involves data management and data analysis. She

individual participant schools, maintained and documented data files, and cleaned,
formatted and matched data for analysis. Further she has provided analysis of teacher,
principal and specialist survey responses and prepared and delivered regular reports.
