Doris received her Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development, with an emphasis in Evaluation Studies. This is when she realized that her work is grounded in authenticity, practicality, and annoyance: She brings her entire self to identify and address problems in no-nonsense ways. Her passion for equity, inclusion, and accessibility is derived from the understanding that more voices make for better conversations. Doris previously served as an Arabic translator in the U.S. Navy, is conversant in Arabic and Spanish, and is continuously building her capacity to engage meaningfully across myriad cultural groups. She specializes in turning complicated ideas into materials just about anyone can understand and use.
