2024 Summer Interns Announced!

‼️Not one, not two, but three summer interns at MN Associates, Inc.‼️ 🎉

We are beyond thrilled to welcome our 2024 summer interns: Samantha Fitzer, Lilith Mizoe, and Marshall Andrew Young.

Selected from a competitive pool of applicants, these talented individuals will be instrumental in our evaluation work on funded grants from the US Department of Education, Department of Defense, Department of Labor, NSF, and NASA. Their passion for evaluation and commitment to excellence exemplify the next generation of evaluators.

🔹Samantha Fitzer, is a graduate student intern pursuing her Ph.D. in Health Psychology at Old Dominion University. With a remarkable 7 years of research experience in health behaviors, Samantha is poised to make a significant impact. Her dedication to improving public health, particularly for youth and young adults, is truly inspiring.

🔹 Lilith Mizoe, a rising junior at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA, is not only a exceptionally talented violinist but also a psychology and data science enthusiast with a keen interest in evaluation. Her analytical skills and creative approach make her a valuable addition to our team.

🔹 Marshall Andrew Young’s journey in higher education evaluation began in January 2020 when he assumed the role of Director of Assessment & Institutional Excellence at the ETSU Gatton College of Pharmacy. His expertise in researching student success and his innovative approach to evaluation have already made a profound impact.

At MNA, we are committed to mentoring the next generation of evaluators. Through hands-on experience and guidance from our experienced team, Samantha, Lilith, and Andrew will have the opportunity to enhance their skills and contribute meaningfully to our projects.

Join us in welcoming Samantha, Lilith, and Andrew to MNA as they embark on this exciting chapter of their evaluation journey!!
