Expertise

Throughout her career, Trinity has focused on applying a human rights lens to academic research and work experiences. In supporting several research projects for the University of Minnesota Human Rights Center, Trinity gained experience in topics ranging from land digitalization and seizure, to LGBTQ+ rights advancement in the corporate sector, to human-induced environmental degradation. She applied skills in qualitative and quantitative data collection, analysis, and reporting for this work. At the Institute for Social Research and Data Innovation, Trinity gained experience supporting researchers to access valuable census data from other countries. She monitored and documented how various countries’ data was used to support reporting back to countries that contributed data. Trinity’s experience using a human rights lens in all of her work supports her in conducting equity-focused evaluation and consulting at The Improve Group.
