BBBSA has two new team members who are perfect for the job of developing a new outcomes report
Rebecca Prozig, Project Analyst
Rebecca Prozig joined the BBBSA Research Team approximately eight months ago. Her role on the Infographic Replacement Project is to ensure the new YOS/COS outcomes report meets the rigorous standards of past BBBS outcomes reporting as well as current best practices in research and statistical analysis.
Rebecca has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology. Both her undergraduate and graduate level studies focused heavily on research and statistics. During her graduate education, Rebecca even taught statistics to undergraduate behavioral science students. Prior to working for BBBSA, Rebecca provided data management and program evaluation support for a county-level funding organization serving youth and family oriented nonprofits.
Jennifer Bodiford, ETL Developer
Jennifer Bodiford joined the BBBSA IT Team approximately six months ago. She serves as the primary technical expert on the Infographic Replacement Project. Her project responsibilities include properly designing and configuring the new report database and working with subcontracted report developers to ensure the new outcomes report meets established BBBS research standards as well as the needs of end users.
Jennifer has a master’s degree in library information science with a focus on data organization and ease of access. She is a Microsoft Certified Database Developer and has over six years experience designing and developing SQL databases.
