== Welcome our new interns! ==

Dan Higgins and Brett Gibbs will be working with our Learning and Evaluation team remotely to assist with program evaluation reporting projects. You can welcome them via their listed emails, as this is an announcement only list.

Dan Higgins

Dan joins us remote from the UK after returning from Uganda where he has been engaged in evaluation work while completing his recent Masters in Impact Evaluation in International Development. His experience includes analyzing qualitative and quantitative impact data, for programs in an education NGO and, separately, in a women’s microfinance organization. Both entities based in Uganda, where he lived during his study. Looking forward to expand on his experience, he will be helping our team to clean, validate, analyze and report on our second round of voluntary programs reporting [1].

Brett Gibbs

Brett, also known as User:Pine, joins us from Washington state (USA) and has a range of interests that include economics, data visualization, and the intersection of technology and society. He writes for the Signpost (recent work includes the Wikipedia in Education series and the story of Wikimedia Bangladesh) and he was a founding member of the Individual Engagement Grants Committee. Brett will be working with our team on the curation and organization of our learning pattern library [2]. Importantly, he will work with our team to identify relevant learning patterns from grants and voluntary reporting; and he will work with program leaders to develop those for the library. bgibbs@wikimedia.org
