Welcome First Years! I’m Dean (They/Them) and I am thrilled to share space with you! I am an Analyst at the Center for Education Policy Research at the Harvard Graduate School of Education where I examine the effects of field trials in K-12 public schools. As a leftist empath, I relish the conversations on life, love, family and why Xander and Yoly are meant for each other, but am always looking to match peoples’ communication preferences when it comes to style and frequency. I will staunchly defend your right to an (early) good night’s sleep, especially on weekends. Let’s gush about Octavia Butler!
