Kirsten Lee Hill

I’m not a regular researcher; I’m a cool researcher. Stilettos, shorts, sweet jackets, large dog in tow, frequent references to Taylor Swift lyrics. Forget everything you think you know about researchers. Hi. I’m Kirsten (KER-stin) or Dr. Hill if you prefer. I have a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, and I’ve worked on everything from randomized control trials to designing alternative teacher education programs to leading the development of Philadelphia’s citywide surveys to measure alternative indicators of success in schools. Traditional research expertise is a tool; leveraging it creatively, for good, is my superpower.
