Curriculum or Instructional Design, Education Research

I am a researcher in education and public policy. Research has exposed me to academic writing skills, along with a keen eye for perfectly edited written pieces. Having been a literacy teacher and coach myself, I also enjoy creative writing. I have been an educator for over 7 years and have worked with over 100000 teachers and have designed state-level curricula, as well as studies to understand student learning better. I currently work on multiple research studies with faculty from Harvard University and MIT and have excellent resources at my disposal for academic reference and mentorship. I aspire to launch my own study on gender identity using narrative research and am currently transitioning into a freelance position to support this. I am fascinated by the process of inquiry and would love to share some of these skills that I have developed with you!

"Dear Jessica, I would like to begin by highlighting that freelancers on Upwork are not to be treated like disposable beings who work whenever the client deems fit and however they think is right. There is a learning curve to each project and we're not machines that are meant to churn out deliverables under absurd expectations. I am sorry to hear that you feel availability and communication were issues. It was indeed difficult to communicate with a client that was unavailable themselves to clearly convey what they needed and had no clarity on what the outcome of the specified work would look like. It was also difficult to gauge the requirements of the project as they changed multiple times in a span of 3 days. I struggled with my contract hours being modified continuously, with requests for additional work outside of the stipulated working hour as specified by the contract, messages and requests outside of my working hours usually late into the night, and several ad hoc requests with no respect for my time and other commitments. Respectful communication is founded on reciprocity. I am unable to provide feedback on your services as a client but I do hope that you're able to treat your future employees with more respect. Kind regards, Anushka"

"Anushka understood the project requirements really well. The output was quite thoughtful and of high quality. She exhibited a deep understanding of pedagogy and assessments. She could complete the project within the timeline and also incorporate the changes. I would love to work with her again."

In consultation with USAID, South Africa, I prepared a structural analysis of how the education ministry can work towards alleviating high drop-out rates in secondary schools. This policy paper summarizes my findings and makes certain recommendations towards corrective action. This paper was presented to the Department of Basic Education, South Africa, for their reference.
